The Common Room / What is a Scout's V.C.?
« on: Friday 15 August 25 11:57 BST (UK) »
I was researching John Bunting (1929 - 1938) son of William Bunting and Emma [nee Buxton]
On the grave stone, after the names of the parents, the headstone reads
John Bunting
Died 14th April 1938 Aged 9 Years
Scouts V. C.
Googling this has not yielded much information. I was hoping for a list of recipients but have not been able to find any.
Any clues as to where I might find information?

« on: Wednesday 05 July 23 17:31 BST (UK) »It would appear we have a bit of a name change, re 1921 census. George Andrews married Ada FAVELL in 1903 Southwell. Her (Ada's) daughter Elizabeth birthThank you. Yes, the name changes are confusing, I found Elizabeth's sister was registered at birth as Fabell. Ada is Fable in the 1901 census while her daughters are Favell and are with thier grandparents but posing as daughters.
FAVELL, ELIZABETH -
GRO Reference: 1895 M Quarter in SOUTHWELL NOTTS Volume 07B Page 465
Whilst Elizabeth records she is married I cannot find a marriage to a Fable

ADDED
GRO website index does not show mothers maiden surname but freebmd shows it as Fable
I am looking at nine similar births and have ordered a birth certificate but it hasn't appeared yet.
Thank you

I'm still waiting for it
Being outside the UK and 1961 certificiates not being available for online ordering of PDF's makes things difficult.

I would be very grateful for any information on Ethel Fable.
I think she was a foundling, her birth was registered in Newark, Notts. In the 1939 register, Ethel Fable (born 27th August 1917), was a patient at the National Institutions for Persons Requiring Care and Custody, Whittington Hall, Old Whittington, Chesterfield. She is recorded (as were virtually all patients) as an Incapacitated Inmate.
The death of Ethel Fable, aged 43, was registered between July and September 1961 at Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Was she discharged before her death or did she die in hospital? The National Archives state that the records are held at Matlock.
Thanking you in anticipation
