Peter Bennett Posted 16 February , 2011 Share Posted 16 February , 2011 Jim I take your point re the "Salta" Memorial. Someone I know may be going to Ste. Marie Cemetery later this year, I will ask them to try and get a better photo. St. Matthews Church in Naburn is still standing, it was the private chapel to the recently refurbished Naburn Hall which was dismantled. If you are reasonably sure that Joan Mary Georgina PALMES was interred there I can have a look on Saturday as I am going to the WFA meeting in York. (Wouldn't miss Peter Hart for all the tea in China !) Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJanman Posted 16 February , 2011 Share Posted 16 February , 2011 A woman shown as "Unknown" on the Salta Memorial has been acknowledged as being Jane Roberts, QAIMNS. You kindly let me have a photograph but from it I cannot read if she is still shown as "unknown woman" or if the CWGC has actually put her name. I need a reasonable photograph showing her name. I appreciate that the memorial is not very photogenic !! I was there last September and have a photograph of the memorial plaque, which shows "Staff Nurse A G Mann" and underneath "1 Unknown Nursing Sister". Maybe they have changed it now but if not you are welcome to a copy, it obviously does not show her name but it is a reasonable photograph. Also, do you still want a photograph in Dorking? I looked at your list. If so is it Dorking Cemetery? I have noticed there are RAMC buried there so will be going myself shortly. I'm sorry I never went back to Leatherhead again after saying I would try to get your photograph there. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 17 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 17 February , 2011 Ian - I replied yesterday. I have some basic information on Constance Dean that I passed on to you yesterday. If not received please let me know and I will send again. Peter - I am fairly certain that Joan Palmes is in the churchyard of the church of St. Matthew, Naburn. My information came from an obituary in The Times which must be fairly reliable. If you can look on Saturday that would be great but your WFA meeting must take priority. With regards to the Salta Memorial I am awaiting the CWGC to add the name of staff nurse Jane Roberts in place of the "unknown nurse" that is there at present. It obviously will take them time to do it and that is why Le Havre remains as something that I need but have to wait for. Barbara - I have a photograph of the two names that you mention off the Salta Memorial but I would welcome yours, too, so that I can choose the best so please send it along to jimstrawbridge AT coinsale.fsnet.co.uk. As to Dorking, I need a photograph of the grave marker of Daisy Maud Cottingham WADLING who died at Endell Street Military Hospital on the 1st November 1918 and is buried in Dorking Cemetery. I am not sure of her plot number but contact details, sat nav reference and cemetery layout are all on the web. ps. I have today added Saffron Walden to my needs.

Peter Bennett Posted 20 February , 2011 Share Posted 20 February , 2011 Peter - I am fairly certain that Joan Palmes is in the churchyard of the church of St. Matthew, Naburn. My information came from an obituary in The Times which must be fairly reliable. Jim Along with GWF Pal Geoff Greensmith, we managed to have a look in the churchyard after the WFA meeting (it was snowing then raining in morning !) There is a large family grave to the Palmes family but Joan's name was not on it. She is named on the village war memorial which is situated in the churchyard but you state earlier that you have a photo of this. On the church sign there were names and phone numbers of the minister and two churchwardens, I will contact them this week to see if they can assist. Will PM you with further info asap.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 27 February , 2011 Author Share Posted 27 February , 2011 Jim What do you need in Saffron Walden? Bob Bob, I need a photograph of the grave markers of :- Winifred May FURLONG, VAD, who is buried in compartment 20, plot 22, Saffron Walden cemetery. She died on the 26th October 1918. The next grave should be her parents and in compartment 6 are a few more Furlongs. If you find 8 of them then you have a mile (joke). Out of interest the family were quite well known gun-makers in Saffron Walden. But it is Winifred May that I am after. also :- Mabel Elizabeth SMITH, VAD, who is buried in compartment 1, grave 5. She died on the 7th Novemeber 1918. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Strawbridge Posted 8 April , 2011 Author Share Posted 8 April , 2011 Hey Jim what do you need from Harrogate? Rich Rich, Thanks for the offer but I doubt if you will be able to help with this one. Vivienne Isabelle KNAPTON, Woman's Land Army, and was commemorated on the United Methodist Church Memorial, Harrogate. Roy Evans has tried to find the UMCM and enquiries of the Harrogate Methodist Circuit suggests that it was originally in the Victoria Park Church. This was closed in 1953 and demolished soon afterwards. The records were transferred to the North Yorkshire County Record Office at North Allerton but the whereabouts of the memorial is currently unknown. I have left it on my list in the hope that someone knows the whereabouts of the memorial so that it can be photographed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosalie DETOURLET and Marie SLORAN are buried in Estaires Communal Cemetery. They are female foreign nationals whose graves are under CWGC care. Michelle I tried to find these two years ago with no success, although I was given the supposed plot locations. If the graves are under the care of the CWGC, I wonder if they have a more precise location in proximity to a Commission Headstone or a very prominent private memorial. It might be worth you contacting them prior to your visit. Bonne Chance ! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
