The Common Room / VAD - Red Cross Records
« on: Sunday 01 June 25 14:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi all!

I’ve found a record for Daisy Winifred Pound in the British Red Cross Register of Overseas Volunteers 1914–1918 on FindMyPast, showing she served as a VAD with certificate number 7927.

I tried searching for her on the official British Red Cross VAD website, but the search function there seems a bit erratic — the results are very inconsistent, and I’ve had no luck narrowing it down properly.

Does anyone know if there are any other websites, archives, or resources where I might find more details about her service with the Red Cross?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thank you for that!

As he is only listed on this record do you think it is more than likely he was just 'monitored' or possibly interned?

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Interment of Enemy Aliens Record Help
« on: Friday 27 December 24 15:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have located a record for John Schonbeck under 'Interment of Enemy Aliens During 1914-1918 War Classifed List' however, there doesn't seem to be much information under the record itself?

It notes him under Class 7, does anyone know what this means?

Would he have just been monitored? or would he have been interred somewhere?


Any help would be amazing! and Happ Holidays!  :)

United States of America / 1920 Census - Relation Partner?
« on: Thursday 14 November 24 21:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hello :)

I've come across the 1920 census for Alice D Moralee, a 70 year old widow living at 6007 Woodlawn Ave. Listed within the household is a lodger and Constance Edwards, a 34 book keeper, who is listed as 'partner'. I've not come across this before?

Could anyone shed any light?

Hello!

I've recently been forwarded 4 pages from a memoir of Sarah Dunnett which was printed and published by Abraham Quick & Co in Clacton on Sea. I would absolutely love to find a copy of the actual book / transcript but after searching online I have hit a brick wall..  ???

Can anyone help on how I would go about locating it?

Ann's age fluctuates rather wildly - might there be two of them ? I know recorded ages can be pretty variable, but the ones here are pretty extreme ?


It does! I too noticed this when I first started tracing her but looking at all the records I have, people she was with, children she had etc it's definitely her  :)
