LOWESTOFT

Lowestoft Cemetery (Normanston Drive), plot L/12/556, Helen Grace COOK, died 9/8/15 following German zeppelin raid.

I have yet to find the graves of Annie Elizabeth Davey (and her brother) who were killed by enemy bombardment on 25th April 1916.

A check of local war memorials may also yield names.

Sheringham intrigued me - there isn't any womens names on the Town War Memorial or on the Roll of Honour in the church, (St Peters). I'm also not aware of the any woman from WW1 in the Civic Cemetery. However All Saints in "Upper" Sheringham is historically where the village was originally before Victorian entrepreneurs filled in the land down to the sea. I'm 99% sure it does not have its own War Memorial.

Lowestoft.

"Graves of Annie Elizabeth Davey and her brother" - I assume that's Annie Elizabeth, (21) and Sidney Herbert, (16), both of 20 Sandringham Road, who share a common grave L/13/408. (In case anyone gets there before I do). However the local council have them as dying on the 29th April 1916.

http://apps.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/pages/cemeteries/Lowestoft/colman_ditcham.aspx

A search for details of the bombardment on the town on the 25th April 1916 brings up a picture of a house on Sandringham Road, on which a note has been added - "3 killed", (there were only 4 killed in total on the day).

http://www.oldlowestoft.co.uk/?WW1:The_Bombardment_of_Lowestoft%2C_25_April_1916:Damage_to_property_elsewhere_in_Lowestoft

There are no other Davey's recorded as dying in Lowestoft at this time, but a bit more searching on the Council website brought up an 8 month old Robert Vernon Mumford, child of singlewoman, who died at 20 Sandringham Road, Lowestoft on the 29th April 1916. He is buried in L/13/418E

Sheringham - I hope that my reseach has not gone awry on this one. The name of Mary West is on the York Minster panels under "munitions". I could only find her as originally living at 19 Bourne Road, Bexley but recently, through parish registers on line found that latterly she had lived at 19 Bowers Road, Bexley (typo?) and was buried at Sheringham. Many munition workers were buried without a grave marker but I hope that this has one as the family went to the bother of getting her body from Bexley to Sheringham. She was aged 16.

Lowestoft - the column from the death register shows the date of burial not date of death. See top of column. The photograph of the bombarded house also gives the date that I quoted.

[PRC]

Apologies for missing that column header - I was taking the date with a pinch of salt anywhere but as there was a discrepancy I was just trying to make sure I'd got the right woman by checking the brothers name. I'll probably take a picture of the headstone of Baby Mumford at the same time - does that come within the scope of what you're doing?

With regards to Mary Ann West, I do have a likely match from the baptismal records and subsequent census entries, which gives me several possibilities for on whose headstone she might potentially be remembered if she doesn't have one of her own and where. Unfortunately by the time Mary Ann West, born 1st January 1899, was baptised at Sheringham Primitive Baptist Chapel on the 2nd April 1899, her father, William Christmas West, a Fisherman, was dead. Up until then the family lived at Beeston Regis, (which now is pretty much joined up with Sheringham). Her mother, Beatrice Saul Christabel West and two sisters moved in with a widow, Elizabeth Gray, at Victoria House, Cromer Road, Sheringham by the time of the 1901 census.

The relationship of both Beatrice and her three daughters to Elizabeth is given as niece - I'll try and get to the bottom of that if it turns out I've got the right person. Mother Beatrice BTW, was originally from London.

It looks like Beatrice remarried in 1902, to a George James Fox, but both then disappear. Mary Ann and one of her sisters was still living with Elizabeth Gray at the same address on the 1911 census.

A census has been done of the All Saints churchyard, Upper Sheringham, and the results put on line. There is no Mary Ann, nor any trace of her father, her mother as Fox or her step-father or Elizabeth Gray.

http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/cemeterynamelist.php?cemetery=169&limit=601&scrwidth=

Before I run out there, I'll see if I can track down a contemporary newspaper account of the funeral, as she could equally well be buried at Beeston Regis or in the Civic Cemetery and I just didn't notice,

Cheers,

Peter

[Jim Strawbridge]

Peter,

Here is where I connected Mary Ann West with All Saints Church, Sherringham :-

http://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/55109826e937907206579c30?search_id=5731ab63f4040b739f000454

As you have found a listing of memorials in All Saints churchyard I suspect one of two things -

either she does not have a headstone, or

she had a funeral service in All Saints church but was buried elsewhere.

I suspect the former as it quotes a burial date.

What do you need from Theale (Berkshire) Jim?

 

[Myrtle]

Hello Jim

I believe that under Glamorganshire, the third place should read Ystalyfera.

Whose memorial do you need in Knightsbridge ?

 

[Medaler]

Hi Jim,

 

Derbyshire - Shirebrook and WhaleyTorns are within easy striking distance, but can you be more specific about Shirebrook? The memorial that I know there has no names on it. In addition, do you mean Whale Thorns or Nether Langwith? - Is it Cicely Eady you are after?

 

Regards,

Mike

Do you have Jessie Jarvis, on the Truro, Nova Scotia, memorial?

You are, of course, right. I did a copy/paste from a Welsh newspaper (Llais Llafur) as follows "The funeral took place on Thursday at Holy Trinity churchyard of Miss Jenkins (25) daughter of Mr. Phillip Jenkins, formerly of Lstalyfera. Deceased was working at a munition works, and was attacked with influenza". Perhaps that is how it is spelt in Welsh but thank you for the correction.

As for Knightsbridge, I am told that there is a small plaque which has the name of Evelyn Fidgeon SHAW, FANY, on the external wall of St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge. It is above a larger plaque that commemorates the Women's Transport Corps.

Mike,

SHIREBROOK - three munition workers (Dorothy Brown, Elsie Garrett and Ethel Gorrill) are buried in an unmarked grave in Shirebrook cemetery. I need a photograph of the grassy patch that is their grave. It will need a local Sherlock Holmes to point it out - perhaps the vicar or a churchwarden. They were in the Langwith munition factory explosion.

WHALEY THORNS - Cicely Eady's name is said to be on the war memorial altar of St. Luke's church, Whaley Thorns (more about Cicely Eady below).

WHALEY BRIDGE - is this nearby? I have a need for a photograph of the grave of Annie Mycock, VAD, who is buried in St. James' churchyard, Buxton Road, Taxal, Whaley Bridge. She died in 1916.    ps. Googled and found it's 40 miles away.

 

CICELY EADY, munition worker, died 20th November 1917. I have Cicely as having been buried in Cuckney churchyard. The churchyard has been thoroughly searched for her grave with the conclusion that it is unmarked. If you know exactly where it is that would be a great help.

Berenice, you have kindly already provided it to me, Regards, Jim

[Myrtle]

Hello Jim

It's usually Ystalyfera in Welsh so more than likely the newspaper's mistake. My grandparents are buried in Holy Trinity graveyard but I won't be visiting South Wales for a while. It may help for someone to know if Miss Jenkins was buried in the lower or the upper level of the cemetery as some areas including the lower level have been very overgrown in the past.. The church has been demolished so it is now just a graveyard. A few years ago I managed with the help of Terry Denham, to have my step great grandfather, who was buried at Holy Trinity , recognised by CWGC.  After I contacted CWGC about the state of the WW1 graves, in some areas of the cemetery, they said that they would clear the brambles etc. so I would be interested to hear if the tending  of the graves has been kept up.

 

I will have a look for the memorial to Evelyn Fidgeon Shaw next week.

Mike,

Pleased to have anything that you have. I have a photograph of her stain glass memorial window at Setmurphy but that is all. She is buried in St. Barnabus' churchyard, Setmurphy. Anything that you have would be good for me. Care, though, as there was another Dorothy Fisher from Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent with a memorial in Temple Street Methodist Church there. It was the latter one that went to France as a VAD nurse, Jim
