Darlington-Womens Voluntary Work WW2
« on: Sunday 25 October 09 20:28 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone have any idea how I could start searching for a voluntary service that my Grandmother, Edith Parker(b.1920) would have done during WW2 whilst living at Geneva Road, Darlington. This was the time that she met my Grandfather, Harold Coop (b.1918) and she told me the story of how they met, (Harold was serving with the Green Howards Territorial Regiment at the time) and he was obviously posted closby as he originally lived and grew up in West Yorkshire. They did marry in Darlington and lived here for some years before moving back to my Grandfathers home of West Yorkshire.

She could have worked anywhere in Darlington.

My mam was a teacher at Reid Street School and after classes worked voluntary at the Memorial Hospital for a few hours.

Geneva Road, nearest Hospital was the ear nose and throat hospital in Hundens Lane, so it could have been there.

But finding out will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
