Summary
Lil Gregg was named in the December 1974 Beaver Beacon as assisting Vera Wogan while most of the island’s school children spent two nights caroling door to door. The role repeats one the paper had already reported for her thirteen years earlier: a January 1962 notice names “Phil and Lillian Gregg” among the adults who led twenty-nine island children caroling on December 22, 1961. “Lil” is the short form of Lillian used throughout the 1974 notice, and the fuller biographical record — Lillian Isabel (MacDonald) Gregg (1924–2022), wife of Philip Gregg — is kept at Lillian Isabel Gregg.
Evidence and limits
The notice provides no full identity, age, or biography beyond the caroling role. It is kept as its own file because it derives from a distinct 1974 newspaper item, though it documents the same person as Lillian Isabel Gregg.
