On a recent visit , managed to get these photos, though I may have missed one or two. The cemetery was very well looked after, and i found it moving ,though i did not have any relatives there.

 

Hopefully this thread is still a going concern...

I've found these two graves in my local area. Catherine Gibbons died from a sudden illness at a military hospital near Wolverhampton. Rhoda Ashcroft was an NFS messenger who was seriously injured in a road accident when responding to a fire, and died soon after. She is buried at St Paul's Churchyard in Skelmersdale.

Thank you particularly for Rhoda Ashcroft who, like many other Civilian ladies killed on official duty, get missed.

Most grateful

Tony

 

No problem Tony. I've also got this, wasn't sure if it would be of interest but may as well post it anyway...

QUINE, ANNIE
Rank: Civilian
Date of Death: Between 03/09/1939 and 04/09/1939
Age: 57
Regiment/Service: Civilian War Dead
Reporting Authority: S.S. ATHENIA
Additional Information: Daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. Rimmer; wife of Thomas E. Quine, of 206 W. Wilshire Avenue, Fullerton, California, U.S.A.

The grave is at St Cuthbert's in Halsall, but I expect she would have been lost at sea so I doubt she's actually buried there.

Also some local newspaper reports on all three, to give them a bit of background.

 

Paul

Again! Excellent. Annie Quine will be saved as I have other details of Athenia

Tony

 

A few more...

Jane Johnstone was a WW1 casualty, I took this photo at the Tower Hill Memorial just the other week. Also another extract from my local paper, this time for Dorothy Shaw. I don't have a photo for her memorial as it's not local, but perhaps you can get one from elsewhere?
