Ditto number of soldiers in second row of second photo. Name is behind the man. Totally makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianmorris547 Posted 20 February Share Posted 20 February Jane Would you please also post the other pictures with no names to complete the set. There may be some clues to be gleaned. I wonder what the dog was called. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture 7 might be a funeral? I think I see buttonholes and some black cravats. All bits of the jigsaw. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All bits of the jigsaw. TEW Ok, I'll do more. The local history society did say to me that it was a convalescent home before the war, so its possible some are earlier although I was always told this was what my grandmother did in the war, rather than her having worked there beforehand.

Admin Bob Davies Posted 20 February Admin Share Posted 20 February 5 hours ago, Jane Hayward said: The local history society did say to me that it was a convalescent home before the war, so its possible some are earlier Thanks for posting these extra pictures Jane and confirming that it was a 'convalescent home' before the war. I just had a bit of a dig on Ancestry, the 1911 census tells us that, Lucie Maud Havers, born 1863 in Norwich, was the Trained Matron/head of the place. Age about 48 in 1911, so aged 52 in 1915. I wonder if she is one some in the pictures? There are 43 names on the 1911 cencus, all the patients are male and 7 members of staff all female including Lucie Maud Havers. On a 1894 map Desford Hall is called 'Forest House'. Regards, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
