There is said to be a mosaic commemorating Caroline Maud Edwards, QARRNS, died 1915 in St. Pauls Walk, Newport. If not too far out, I need a photograph of the headstone of Ada Florence Morgan, VAD, died 1919 which is in St. John the Baptist churchyard, Penhow. There are four women listed in the Newport Roll of Honour - a remembrance Book in Newport reference library. I do not know how accessible the book is or if the librarian will allow photographing their names. The names are of four of thes - Gertrude Dyer, Annie Alice Guy, Lilian Kate Jones, Frances Mary Dulcie Llewellyn-Jones, Violet Phillips, Beatrice Olivette White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker31 Posted 8 September Share Posted 8 September Hi Jim They shouldn't be to much of a problem, but bear with me and I will see what I can do over the next week or so. Not sure if this may be of interest but if you go on the following website www.shaunmcguire.co.uk It is a site dedicated to Newport's War Dead and has copies of portrait photo's for EDWARDS and GUY and also pictures of the headstones for DYER, LLEWELLYN-JONES and PHILLIPS and also the WW1 memorial shield for WHITE.

But I didn't know about this fairly new memorial and the memorial plaque so thank you for letting me know of it's existence. I will still leave Manly on my list as I still require a photograph of her grave. Again, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasemuseum Posted 10 September Share Posted 10 September (edited) The quarantine station where she died is at North Head, now part of a national park, Manly is the nearest inhabited area, now a suburb of Sydney. The grave is actually out at the quarantine station. www.findagrave.com/memorial/158899329/elizabeth-mcgregor/photo Edited 10 September by Chasemuseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasemuseum Posted 10 September Share Posted 10 September If you ever go there, take heed of the warning on the notice. - It talks about wildlife being protected - the area has a lots of bandicoots. These are a marsupial native rat. They are immune to the paralysis tick and spread them widely. - There is also a warning on the notice about ticks. This area is lousy with them. Over the last 20 years the paralysis ticks on the north side of Sydney have been spreading a "Limes like disease". For some people this causes very severe illness. The main thing about tick management is if you are going into a tick area, check yourself over as soon as you can when you leave and remove ticks as soon as possible. The paralysis tick is really good at killing cats and dogs. Be very careful of your pets. Back on topic - Nurse McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
