CGM Posted 27 August , 2019 Share Posted 27 August , 2019 (edited) This plaque is in a small area of the Church known as the Veley Chapel, where there are other plaques to other members of her family. In the churchyard there is a gravestone with Juliana listed but it had some ivy on it when I was shown it. I am returning on Thursday when it may have been cleared. Apparently the churchyard was closed before her death but it is possible a family grave was re-opened for her burial. I will also check the Church Burial Register on Thursday. I will e-mail copies after Thursday. Edited 27 August , 2019 by CGM spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find a plot number from billion graves and the photo isn't clear as to where it is. I will give it 30 minutes there and then on to wigan Wayne, I have just had a look at Billion Grave website and if you scroll down to the bottom you will see a GoogleEarth photo with a pin as to exactly where the grave is in conjunction to the Cenotaph, Leigh Road and it's junction with Hamilton Road. That junction is shown on a map here (https://www.wigan.gov.uk/Docs/PDF/Resident/Births-Marriage-Deaths/Cemeteries/Atherton.pdf) and the grave is in section NEW of the cemetery in the smaller triangular section. There is a BillionGrave app that you can download but that choice is yours as you might download stuff that you don't want !! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made enquiries as to why she does not have a headstone and I have been told that her father refused one from the CWGC and didn't install one himself although the CWGC has it on file that a private memorial was to be placed. As she was married I would have thought that it would have been her husband's decision. I don't think that her father played much involvement in Lucy's life. But she had family and I suppose it could be said that if they never pressed for a grave marker then why should strangers to her do so now.

Martin Martin, Thank you for the offer. From Hastings I need :- HASTINGS, The Ridge, Hastings Cemetery - a photograph of the headstone of Minnie Dorothy MILLER, VAD, who died 26th October 1918, aged 23. She is in plot R.13. Her grave was adopted in October 1918 by the CWGC under the new rules that they use for VADs. If it was originally unmarked a CWGC headstone may not yet already have been installed. But I am guessing that the family will have provided one as her father was quite prominent in the town. I have a note that she may have been buried as Dorothy Minnie Miller.

This shows that it is a common grave with two other occupiers - Aaron Livesey below her and Elizabeth Moss above her. It is a bit of a shame that your efforts landed you in the wrong cemetery. As for the match, a 0 - 0 scoreline must have been a bit of a disappointment, too. Edited 1 September , 2019 by Jim Strawbridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to Mansfield this saturday so could do cuckney on the way. I have found three other incumbents in Lower Ince Cemetery if you ever get back there. As for Cuckney, there is a Roll of Honour in St. Marys Church, Norton Cuckney, Nottinghamshire that includes the names of two VAD nurses who survived the war but are remembered anyway. Their names are Elsie Kirk and Mrs Lane. A photograph of the memorial; required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your requirements for belton blyton and lincoln and I'll see what I can do BELTON - Lady Adelaide Brownlow of the British Red Cross Society lived locally and died on the 16th March 1917. She is buried in St. Peter and St. Paul churchyard. In view of her standing she may have a memorial in the church although I have no knowledge of that. In fact, the web site shown makes to mention of a memorial in there to her. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Church_monuments_in_St_Peter_%26_St_Paul,_Belton As to her grave, she has an entry on Find A Grave which is copyright but the photograph there may help you find it. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/73460709/adelaide-brownlow BLYTON - Dorothy Lucy Howell, nurse, died in 1918. Her name is on a scroll inside the local church (need a photograph). I am guessing that this will be St. Martins church in Church Lane, Blyton (DN21 3JZ). Her name is also on the Blyton War Memorial (the back). I already have a photograph of that so it is not vital but can always use another if you are passing. LINCOLN - Beatrice Mary Hodgson, VAD, died 29th December 1919 and is buried in St. Peter (Eastgate) churchyard, Lincoln. I also have a note that there is a remembrance tablet in a Lincoln church and it would make sense for this to be St. Peters, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonwayne Posted 14 September , 2019 Share Posted 14 September , 2019 Did ok in blyton. However lincoln was no good. Couldn't get in the church and there are no headstones from that time left. Only a small area left where burials were so not sure if this is where she was buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who you need in Newark and Belton who do you need in Nottingham Hello Wayne, Below I list my Nottingham requirements BUT I do not have the plot numbers. Nottingham General Cemetery is huge. I tried to check out through Nottingham City Council the information we need but they have delegated their record availability to Deceased Online. Deceased Online charge for each search for detail although free just to confirm that the person is buried there. So I think best to leave it. Jim NOTTINGHAM - Church (Rock) Cemetery. The grave of Annie Benson, munition worker, who died 1st July 1918, aged 64, is buried here. - Nottingham General Cemetery. The grave of Gladys May Buckley, munition worker, died in 1917, aged 19. - Nottingham General Cemetery. The grave of Florence Kate Carter, munition worker, died in 1917, aged 20. - Nottingham General Cemetery. The grave of Clara Jane King, V.A.D., died 1920, aged 59. - Nottingham General Cemetery.
