Lydia Childs initially worked at Torchwood 1 as a secretary, having been born and raised in the area.
However, in 1918, on request of Gerald Kneale, Lydia re-located to Torchwood Three to take on a similar role. She was said to have possessed a remarkable memory and eclectic knowledge making her an invaluable member of the team. It was said that she often did not receive the thanks she deserved, a trait that seemed to plague Torchwood secretaries (such as Ianto Jones). She died before August in 1941. (The Twilight Streets)
