Hi Tony, You might want to check the location of Greenhill Methodist Chapel - you have it in Sheffield but according to the CWGC it's in Rawdon in the Bradford/Leeds area. I have another two names (but not photos) for the Sheffield area that aren't on your list, though you may of course already have them: HARTMAN, Emily (Ecclesfield Jewish Cemetery) HUDSON, Marguerite Hester (Sheffield Wisewood Cemetery) Are you also interested in post-WW2 ladies? Paul
Paul For some unknown reason I do not have either Harttman or Hudson even listed can you advise service details. Re Post WW2 females, yes I am interested and have a few graves but have not concentrated on them yet still struggling with WWs 1 & 2. Do you have a War, name and service? Tony
Tony. If you could work out which ones are still missing for North Yorkshire, I might be able to get some for you. Regards FdeP
FdeP The list in the first post has been amended and is up to date, grateful for any further deletions Tony
Tony. If you are not aware, you can get the Moor Monkton one for Noyce ATS free from this sight. http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/cemetery.php?cemetery=264&limit=1 Regards FdeP
Thanks, got it but could be better. Have you used this site and obtained photos and are they clear? Tony
Hi Tony... HARTMAN, EMILY Rank: Nurse Date of Death: 20/10/1918 Regiment/Service: Voluntary Aid Detachment Grave Reference: Grave 271 Cemetery: ECCLESFIELD JEWISH CEMETERY There is some information about her in this topic on the Sheffield History forum (see post #4). Apparently she is also named on the Sheffield Hebrew Congregation WW1 Roll of Honour, currently at Kingfield Synagogue in Sheffied (was previously at Wilson Road Synagogue). I did manage to find a pic, but it's far too small to read the names so probably not much use. I've just spent the day in Sheffield looking for some family graves but I also managed to get a dozen or so from your list, plus Hudson and three post-WW2 ladies. Let me know if you want me to post them here or in your other ("FAO Tonym") topic. Regards, Paul
Paul I don't mind which but I will PM my email if you prefer. Appreciate your effort. Minden Sounds good so I will I will go for their original. Tony
Hi Tony, I'll post smaller pics for the WW2 ladies here for reference, but if you give me your email address I'll send you full size images for the lot...
