Jim Strawbridge Posted 31 January , 2016 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2016 Jim, who do you need from Albany, Australia ? Peter, I have been looking at what I have for Nellie Saw, QAIMNS and what I still need. We have been in correspondence before about her. I have a photograph of her. I believe that my needs were a photo of her grave (1) and photos of her memorials which by my reckoning are a memorial in Albany erected by the citizens (2), the Albany Avenue of Honour (3), the Albany Weslyan Church Honour Board (4), Albany War Memorial (5), the Denmark Honour Board (6) and the Denmark War Memorial (7). You. Sandra Fedelmar and Bev McGuiness have been kind enough to share photographs. Having looked again I think that I have photographs of her grave ((1) from you and Sandra - this is Nellie with parents and sister either side. I also think that the (2) is the monolith on the grave). I have (3) and (4) from Sandra. I have (6) from Bev although I would like a better one if possible as it is rather low density. So I reckon for certain that I need the Albany War Memorial (5) and Denmark War Memorials (7) showing her name. Also I do not know if the CWGC afforded her one of their headstones when they adopted the grave in 2007 and, if so, that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 1 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2016 Who is Bolsover? I have some 9th Bn Sherwood Foresters from there. Steve Steve, I am after photographs of the name of Margaret Elizabeth Bramfitt, VAD, whose name is on the Bolsover War Memorial. Also the name of nurse E. Carter which is also on there and confirmation as to which war she is commemorated for, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Strawbridge Posted 1 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2016 Jim, Who do you need at Beckenham and Nunhead? Phil Phil, Some of my Beckenham requirements have been provided to me within the past week by Trevor Penfold. Whilst Trevor has provided the plates of the complete names on the Beckenham War Memorial I should like to have much closer views of the names of Nellie Hawley and Jane Evans as the ones provided by Trevor I don't think will "blow up" sufficiently for my eventual publication. The Nunhead one is a little more complicated. May Elizabeth Shaw, WRAF has her name entered on a screen wall at Nunhead (All Saint's) Cemetery. I have a photograph of her name on that. But it has been established that she is actually buried in plot sq.23, plot 10593. I am told that this part of the cemetery is only accessible by cemetery staff the reason for which I know not. The grave, whilst unmarked, I should like to have a photograph of for the record. It may be findable or it may mean having a member of staff available.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 1 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2016 Jim it was mucky in Chippenham Wilts yesterday , who do you want ? will see if I can but may be friday now. Thank you for the offer but I don't think that you can help me as my lady is rather elusive. She is Lilian Annie Stevens who lived and died in Cheltenham in the fourth quarter 1918. She was the wife of Hugh J. Stevens, a plumber living at 3 New Road, Chippenham and I know that she was buried in Chippenham but try as I may the cemetery alludes me. I keep her name current in case the cemetery pops up at some time. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been driving past the Beckenham memorial every day, up until last Friday. Did Trevor survive the traffic to get out into the middle of the roundabout? I will try and get down there later this week. Nunhead is a different story (see photo). I have seen the signs. I usually go there when it is quiet and there aren't likely to be ground staff about. I don't think the grave would ever have been marked with a CWGC stone and certainly not with a private one. The CWGC docs state "No Memorial". I have only ever found one WW1 CWGC headstone in the entire cemetery and that was on a private grave. Shaw was buried in a common grave with six burials from 1919, when they raised the level above eight from 1869. I have looked at Square 23 in the past, as there are about fifty WW1 graves in there, from late 1918 and 1919, but none that I have found marked.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 1 February , 2016 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2016 Oh dear. What a state. A general photograph of square 23 will do, in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 1 February , 2016 Share Posted 1 February , 2016 Jim, I have a map, but if I don't come back, send out a search party. Hopefully I will be able to get there sometime soon. By the way, I now have access to the Greenwich burial registers and the location I gave you for Margaret Durno is definitely correct. Florence A. Marshall is buried in the same grave.

Jim I do not think that the CWGC will erect a headstone to Nellie Saw as the current PM is a beautiful tribute. The photos I have of her grave memorial and a close-up are both 1.58 MB which I presume are the ones which you refer to. My photo of the Albany War Memorial from 2010 does not have her name on it, perhaps it has been added since. If you would like me to re-send please advise.
