Jim Strawbridge Posted 4 February , 2019 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2019 Bostonwayne. Thank you. Would you please send direct a copy of the Bellamy headstone with maximum pixel density that you have, please. I cannot believe that I haven't provided you with all of my Burngreave Cemetery requirements. They are :- Ann Coogan, section NN, grave 252 and this will hopefully include Margaret Taylor in the same grave Eliza Ann Harrison and Vera Harrison, section KK, grave 1201 and this will hopefully include Elsie Mary Rhodes, Nellie Rhodes, Phyllis Irene Rhodes in the same grave Martha Shakespeare, section K5, grave 23 (grave is multi populated with Lapidge x 2, Moore, and Shakespeare x 3) Sarah Southerington, section VI, grave 35 (buried with her husband) Amelia (or Emelia) Tyler and Selina Tyler, section KK, grave 1199 Eliza Willis, section KK, grave 1195 (grave contains Willis x 3, Pashley baby) (you mention that no headstone for Mrs Willis but would be grateful for a photograph of the plot, anyway, hopefully with a feature in the background that might help a relative find it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonwayne Posted 4 February , 2019 Share Posted 4 February , 2019 I will send you the photos I took Sunday. They are Elizabeth bellemy the Tyler family headstone and plot kk1195 for Eliza Willis. At the minute plot kk 1195 has a cwgc headstone for Eliza Willis son Harry with no mention of Eliza. What about Beatrice hames and Alice Newton have you a photo of their graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonwayne Posted 4 February , 2019 Share Posted 4 February , 2019 I have just checked the parish registers and Margaret Taylor is buried with Ann Coogan and the Rhodes woman are buried with the Harrison's. I will try to find these graves on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonwayne Posted 4 February , 2019 Share Posted 4 February , 2019 I tried to email you the photos but I'm on a new phone so haven't your address. On the plus side the photos are much bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a photograph of the grave off Ancestry but my efforts to get to the owner of the copyright has failed. So, again, it is one that I require. Alice Newton - good spot. I had her in Burgreave Cemetery and my search facility missed her. Now amended to Burngreave Cemetery and, yes, it is one that I require (grave 462, section BB).

Gardenerbill Posted 8 February , 2019 Share Posted 8 February , 2019 Hi Jim, Quite some time ago you asked me to look for Olga Milne Fisher, sorry for taking such a long time but it's bad news I'm afraid, called Trafford Bereavement Services and they have no record of a burial for 'Olga Milne Fisher' in any Trafford cemeteries (including Sale or Hale). Who have are you looking for in Handbridge (Chester)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acknown Posted 8 February , 2019 Share Posted 8 February , 2019 Jim, Finally I made it to Chippenham. Lilian Annie Stevens is in Plot D16 in St. Paul's Churchyard. Her grave consists of a rectangular, kerbed memorial that is now almost completely overgrown. There is no headstone in evidence. On this photograph, I have indicated in red the approximate extent of the kerb. I will PM you with more pictures. Best wishes, Acknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there is no photograph on FAG I assume that they have populated their site from a core source and since I last looked on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In St. Michaels Cemetery, Dumfries is the grave of Christina Stevenson Carroll Caldow (known as Ina), munition worker, who died 18th December 1915. Munition workers normally came from the poorest in society so often their family could not afford a headstone. I hope this one will have one as she actually worked in an aircraft factory varnishing the skins of aircraft and died from the fumes. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRC Posted 5 March , 2019 Share Posted 5 March , 2019 Jim, Have you got images already for these two? Reedham War Memorial in Norfolk has "Susaanah Hall Q.M.A.A.C" listed on one of the Great War faces. On CWGC she is recorded as Worker 11900 Annie Hall, died 23/03/1919 and buried at Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille. The Old Cemetery at Caister on Sea, Norfolk has the headstone of Violet Meal "Queen Mary's Army who died April 3rd 1920 from illness contracted on active service at Audruicq, France, aged 31 years." The pictures are taken, they are just in the pile waiting to be researched. regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a photograph of it from a newspaper article but, by it's nature, is not the best so if you have one it would be appreciated. As for Violet Meal, that is one that I have. The CWGC adopted her grave in 2014 but as the existing headstone is extant and in quite good order I don't think that they will consider adding their own.

wandsworth Posted 14 March , 2019 Share Posted 14 March , 2019 HI What is required in Dawlish and Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 15 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 15 March , 2019 15 hours ago, wandsworth said: HI What is required in Dawlish and Plymouth Wandsworth, That's a very good question. The reason that I say that is because I live about three miles from you and I am surprised that I have not cleared them up myself. DAWLISH - In 2018 I heard that the name of Margaret Jane Fortescue, Canadian Army Medical Corps, was to be added to the town war memorial. PLYMOUTH - Lilian Norah Pearce, Voluntary Aid Detachment died 19th November 1918. Her grave was adopted by the CWGC in 2017. Previous searches have failed to find her and I have assumed that she was without a grave marker. Now, with the CWGC involvement, I am hopeful that she will be located (after all, we now have a plot number) and that a CWGC headstone will be erected. I know that this exercise takes time so their headstone may (or may not) be now in place. Also Trinnette Taylor, Women's Royal Naval Service, was accepted by the CWGC in 2012. Her name was to be added to the Plymouth Naval Memorial but I don't know if this has been done so. Seven years have passed and I will be surprised if it hasn't.

I have only just seen this and am curious about how you got on. I have tried several times to find Grace Gordon Jones in Gillingham, but the map provided by Medway council seems to be incorrect. Also, Kate Wood in Swanscome, as I have had no luck contacting the Rectory for details. Did you have any success getting information about the graves, and more importantly did you find them? Regards, Steve. Edited 18 March , 2019 by Ex-boy Mis-spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Steve. Hi Steve. I only had time to look for Grace Jones grave. I live in Barnsley go to the football matches all over the country but this means I only have about an hour to look. I do remember this cemetery though and there is a bit in the middle with just black military graves in it. They are in rows and you are looking for row 17 grave 888. Rows are marked at the end closest the road and she is about 5 graves in. Unfortunately she has a rough stone cross with no writing on it whatsoever. What I did was check the next grave to hers on find a grave and it was 17 887 as I recall. It only took us about 10 minutes to find Forgot to say I only take photos on my phone so when I send them to Jim I delete them so no longer have it sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to go back and find Grace's grave, using your description and find out where I have gone wrong previously. I was on the hunt on Jim's behalf, so the job is now done but I won't be able to rest until I see the marker. On the Swanscombe grave, do you have any information that might enable me to track it down, again on Jim's behalf? I've left messages at the Rectory and had no reply, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Thanks Jim. You will have seen Bostonwayne's reply and I would just confirm that I will stick with the hunt for Kate Wood. If you still have one to get in Sheerness, that could be one I can have a go at too if you send the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
