PaulC78 Posted 3 July , 2021 Share Posted 3 July , 2021 On 31/05/2021 at 13:21, Jim Strawbridge said: It just shows how helpful to me these photographs are. The grave marker acts as a memorial to her brother who was killed in France in 1916. A CWGC search has provided his parent's names and address. The lad was only aged 19 and Phyllis was aged 20 so enough grief for one family due to the war. Next task is to try the census once again now that I have an address and parent's names. Paul, I mentioned that I now have Florence Jones grave photo. As you couldn't find it first time around I guess that you want to satisfy yourself so here is a photograph of it. I can see why you missed it. Hi Jim, I managed to find the Florence Jones grave on a return visit to Crosby. Do you know her date of death? More on Phyllis May, from the Crosby Herald 23/11/1918: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mean for Florence Jones - that's the date for Phyllis May. There's no date on the Jones headstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Strawbridge Posted 11 July , 2021 Author Share Posted 11 July , 2021 (edited) Thank you Dominion. Much appreciated. I spent a bit of time trying to work out S.N.R.F. before I noticed the U.

Find a Grave claims to have covered 75% of them, so if any of your French ladies are there I could try for a matcher..... There is another cemetery at Rosières, just outside Troyes.

I have not considered her to be French for whilst she, being a member of the French Red Cross, is not one whose grave is cared for by the CWGC, her name is on the York Minster panels.

I think that you must have been looking at an earlier listing. My current listing is on page 109 and for Sussex has outstanding photograph requirements for Angmering, Arlington, Hastings, Horsham and Warnham. ANGMERING - Janet Dixon Clare BALL, VAD, died December 1916. A local newspaper reported :- "There was a representative gathering at the funeral of Miss Clare-Ball, which took place at Angmering on Tuesday, January 2nd. If Angmering has more than one cemetery/churchyard I am sorry but I do not know which one she is in. ARLINGTON - Marie Elizabeth SHOOSMITH, munition worker, died 17th January 1917, aged 31. A newspaper report states that she was laid to rest in Arlington, Sussex but no specific cemetery or churchyard was given. HASTINGS - Minnie Dorothy MILLER, VAD, died 26th October 1918, aged 24. She is buried in plot 13, row R, section LC, Hastings cemetery, the Ridge, Hastings. A photograph of her grave marker required. She may have an original headstone although the CWGC had commissioned a headstone in July 2021 which may not yet be in situ. HORSHAM - Etta Grace HARRIS, died in the Hartlepool bombardment of 16th December 1914. There was a marble memorial that was originally in Christ's Hospital School, Hertfordshire. It was removed in 1985, when the school was merged with the boy's school, based in Christ's Hospital Road, Horsham, West Sussex and is now on the wall of the chapel there. Her name is on it. WARNHAM - Dorothy Lottie SALMON, VAD, died 1918, aged 20. She is buried in St. Margaret's churchyard, Warnham. A photograph of her grave marker required.
