Winifred Laura Feber (known as Laura) was born on 9 October 1910 at Waterhead, Oldham, the daughter of Llewellyn Feber, managing secretary of the Nottingham Co-operative Society, and Annie Dunkerley. Educated at the Mount School, Kersal and Long Eaton County Secondary School, she came to Girton College to read Mathematics from 1928-1931. She gained a London Teacher’s Diploma in 1932 and went on to teach mathematics at the County School for Girls, Penarth, 1932-35 and Manchester High School, 1935-38. In 1936 Laura Feber married Reuben Cowburn Seddon, a barrister. (Their daughter Vivien came to Girton to read Music in 1957.) Laura remained in contact with a number of Girton acquaintances; she was particularly active in the Manchester Association of Cambridge University Women for many years; she was a member of the Girton College Roll Committee in the 1980s; and the Girton Newsletter of 1997 notes that she was a collector of and speaker on antique glass and Victorian ephemera. The Laura Seddon Collection of Victorian and Edwardian greeting cards is held in the Special Collections of Manchester Metropolitan University: she was made an Honorary Fellow of MMU in 1992 in recognition of her work in this area. Laura Seddon died on 15 December 1995.
