Looking for Rose Peck and/or descendants

[Gibel]

I've also looked all over Cheshire on the 1939 NI Register with again no success. I'll keep trying ans see if I get any more success.

Hi Gibel,

I really appreciate your efforts!

Unfortunately, we have no idea how old Rose/Rosa is/was. She is named as Godmother in Birgit's christening certificate in early 1949 and she took care of Emil during WWII and then his baby brother after the war, so I would be surprised if she was born after 1915, but I can't be sure of anything at all.

Emil was Oberleutnant, army.

Best regards,
Karen

Thanks very much, Mike!
sdbadger found a little (newspaper?) snippet about the death of a Rosa Peck in Stockport in 1960, but her age was not mentioned.
Stockport is only about 30 miles from Sheffield/Camp 17. Really close!
Do you have any more on her?! 

If that is "our" Rose/Rosa, she would have been around 70 when she helped Emil. I had always had the idea that she might have been an older lady.
She may well have already been a widow by then...
I WISH we knew more!!!
And I hope that our Rose/Rosa had children, so that we can find someone to say thanks to after all these years...

It is also not that far from Crewe hall, but the move to Sheffield could also have been just moving his administrative details there, he may have stayed on the same farm all the time.

Shame we cannot find Rose or Rosa on the 1939, that would be really useful

Might contain some useful information:

Just trying to think outside the box could the surname be Beck not Peck?

I thought that the POWs went out daily to the farms rather than living on the farms but I could have got that wrong!

After Karen's recent comments about the pronunciation and spelling of Rose/Rosa, I was starting to think on similar lines to Gibel's last post, except I was thinking Pack rather than Beck.

I've found the Ravenfield camp in Rotherham which was at Ravenfield Park. That's near Conisborough where ther was a Rose Peck in 1939 but nothing agricultural. There are write ups on the camp which states that POWs went out to do people's gardens.
