roselyn2 Posted 10 August , 2020 Share Posted 10 August , 2020 Can any member give me any information on Lillian A Pearce. Or Lillian Pearce for the 1st. World War. ?. Thank you. Lyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted 10 August , 2020 Share Posted 10 August , 2020 Lyn We're going to need some more information about her. I suspect that were quite a few Lillian Pearces around a century ago and that you didn't pluck a name out of thin air? Nationality? Links to towns/cities/villages? Civilian, servicewoman, voluntary worker? What's piqued your interest in her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need at least one other piece of information to be able to confirm or deny if this is what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headgardener Posted 11 August , 2020 Share Posted 11 August , 2020 I suspect that it's Agnes Lilian (with only one 'l') Pearce of 7 Hannah St, Barry. Worked at Barry Island War Hospital. She was a VAD, and if I wasn't accessing this through my phone I'd post a link to her record card from the Red Cross Society archives..... She was a nurse, worked at Barry Island hospital from 1914 to 1919. Not a lot more info on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 11 August , 2020 Share Posted 11 August , 2020 Just noticed that it is the same person whose details Alan posted (above). Think I might have managed it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 11 August , 2020 Share Posted 11 August , 2020 And here's the reverse.... What's the story with her? You have her St John's medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roselyn2 Posted 11 August , 2020 Author Share Posted 11 August , 2020 I was hoping for information on her 1st W.W. Service. If she spent all the war at home. Looking at her Period Of Service at Barry Hospital. Thank you all for your help. Lyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I might have managed it.... Just had a look at the 1911 census for 7 Hannah Street on FMP. We did both have the same person...which was a bit of a long shot on my part! 1911 Census 7 Hannah St. Thomas Pearce 34 married 4 years, Gas services layer, b. Gibraltar Lillian Pearce 27 b. London [1884] I was a little concerned that the card showed 'Miss' but this is clearly wrong. The fact she worked 2 days per week may also indicate a married woman who had other duties. Unfortunately, with her maiden name of Smith and born London, any further research on her early life may be difficult. But here's a possible... Alan.

Any tips for next year's Grand National? Agree with what you say about the part-time nature of her work.
