^a Originally the 7th seeds were Vera Mathias and Norman Peach, but the latter apparently withdrew from the event.
^b Most likely. Often spelled Miss C. Finlayson, even in sources that mentioned her as Miss M. Finlayson in other articles.[8]
^c List of entrants pairs Mrs. Mathias with Ken Berriman.[9]
^d Probably (see: ^[a] and ^[c]). No source gives an information about such a draw, let alone the result.
