The first and third photographs were taken by another of my photographer friends so are already tucked into my files. The second one is too small for me to recognise as to whether I have it or not.

The second photo is on Vera Claysons grave in newham cemetery. It has 15 children listed on it. Is this the photo you have and need me to photograph.

Thank you for clarifying that. Yes, that's the one. I have a poor photograph of it that would not reproduce well and as it was off the Webb I do not have the copyright holder's permission.

Jim, I have a photo of Louisa Chamberlain's name on the memorial brass in St Luke's Chapel, Royal Hospital Haslar. Are you interested?

(QARNNS(R) drowned in a boating accident in Scapa Flow, you already have a photo of the cross in Lyness).

I am guessing that this one is different to the one in the porchway at Haslar, so yes, please.

Hi Jim

 

Saw your recent update on the 'Yorkshire' wants (Post 2351). 

I can add something on a couple.

 

BURLEY IN WHARFDALE - Joanna Elizabeth HOPPER-GREENWOOD, QAIMNS (not a CWGC recorded casualty) died 11th April 1921. She is buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, Burley in Wharfdale.

 

I have visited this cemetery. It is not very large and a lot of the headstones appear to have been removed.  There is no grave marker for Joanna Elizabeth Hopper-Greenwood.

 

SKIPTON - Hilda MOORBY, VAD, died 8th October 1918. She is buried in grave 1454, section C, Waltonwrays Cemetery, Skipton.

 

Photograph of her headstone attached.

It may be the same relocated; I'm afraid I don't know. I'll send all the same.

Thank you, Chris Ludlam. Joanna Hopper-Greenwood came from a wealthy family and I can only assume that St. Mary's in Burley-in-Wharfdale had a purge for maintenance purposes and remived it with others. I will keep it on my list as I shall look for a photograph of her plot instead. Thanks, also, for the new one of Hilda Moorsby now that the CWGC has recognised her for commemoration.

Arrrr. I've justed looked and you have several woman buried in east london cemetery plaistow. It is the same cemetery I've been in for the children's memorial newham. While I was there the man there told me about the other memorial but I thought you didn't need it. I cant go back now I'm gutted it will be dark. We can do it again when we are playing charlton in February.

Just as an aside, while the memorial to the Upper North Street School is in plot 52, Ripper victim Elizabeth Stride lies across the other side cemetery in plot 37. Not sure if her grave is marked though.

Do you know the plot for the other explosion

I am sorry but I don't. However, if you call the cemetery on 0207 476 5109 you will find them very helpful. They sent me a plot map marking the two plots that I was looking for.

Got both in newham. Will email you them all. Next is Swansea on the 29th and derby on the 2nd January 

 

SWANSEA

Esther DEVONALD, munition worker, died 9th June 1917 and is buried in plot 155F, Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Mary FITZMAURICE, munition worker, died 18th November 1918 and is buried in plot 251W, Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Catherine HILL, munition worker, died 1917 and is buried in plot 123S, Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Mildred OWEN, munition worker, died 31st July 1917 and is buried in Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Annie Mary ROACH, nurse, died 20th December 1915 and is buried in Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Dorothy Mary WATSON, munition worker, died 31st July 1917 and is buried in Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea.

Danygraig Cemetery covers 20 acres so I wouldn't expect searching where plot numbers I have been unable to provide.

 

DERBY

There are several locations between Barnsley and Derby - mainly around and south of Chesterfield.

I didn't know that this memorial existed. I have photographs of her and her actual grave in Alexandria. So, yes please, if you are ever in the area.

Looking at my current list on page 94 I cannot see any of "my wants" between Barnsley and Crewe (Cheshire is currently complete).  Have a look and let me know if you need details. I think that the Crewe match is FA Cup so good luck.

Simon. Thank you. I am coming through direct to ask which cemetery Marjorie Joan Wesley Griffith (no s) is in. I assume Prestbury (Cheltenham Cemetery). Also to ask if you have a "close up" of the inscription on her headstone.
