I'll see if this works- the res has to be a bit low but it's the right area. My next job is dating the map!

not so clear I'm afraid but the convent is vis next to St Paul's school, the hosp is the dotted building right of the "M" in Fulham and the Estate is left of the "L" in Fulham.

Thanks Stockman ... but as you say, the resolution is a bit low.  I found a better one on Multimap. 

Apropos of nothing much, I saw on the Multi-map I found, Hammersmith cemetery ... my Granny taught me to read there on afternoon walks after I had had a long illness ... I learned to read from 'Here lies Mary Jane' and 'In memory of ...'

Been addicted to graveyards and headstones ever since ... but why, oh why, cant I seem to locate any of relevance to our family ?!

Hi,

Coming in late on this so you may have the info you want already.  The Convent bombed was the Convent of Mercy, and the Church next door, Most Holy Trinity (my G Grandparents were married there), Parkers Row, Dockhead, Bermondsey.  See http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:5S4ZOIX4n6EJ:www.inse1.co.uk/issues/inSE1-81.pdf+convent+of+mercy+dockhead&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=8  scroll down to Church Services.

Hope this helps  :)

Hugs,
