« on: Monday 16 August 21 00:20 BST (UK) »Could you tell me where Pearl is buried? I have been researching her sister Maud and her husband.
Mainly Maud's work in the Scottish women Hospital in the WW1 in France. I brought a book of poems Maud had written and sent back home. Pearl had made them up into a book for her. The book must of been sold when Maud died and turn up in an auction, I fell in love with it. I think Maud and Pearl were twins? I will be getting their birth certificates shorty. I have been researching this family, parents, grandparents and so on and found them a wonderful family.
Hi, linked to another post, your comment that Maud and Pearl might be twins - did your birth certificate confirm this? What is really intriguing (maybe not but I like the idea) is that Maud was a nurse and served in WWI but so too was the Auntie Paddy (my relative) who another contributor mentioned was a long term companion of Pearl’s and whom she helped fund the building of the small Catholic (St Aidan’s) church in Aviemore that was dedicated to the 51st Highland Division whom we are to believe she supported in her WWI nursing duties in Alexandria, Egypt and possibly Gallipoli. I wonder if Pearl and Paddy came into contact via Maud?
Have you come across anything? Has Maud any descendents in the Aviemore area still?
