Title: Lilian Mary Chesney
Post by: SWH1 on Wednesday 07 January 15 20:57 GMT (UK)

Trying to piece her life story together, for my ww1 project. I do know a fair amount on her life during ww1 etc. She died in 1935 in Spain and graduated as a Doctor from Edinburgh in 1899. I just need her place and date of birth. I know she worked/lived in London 1907 and also in Sheffield 1919.

As always a big thank you for looking.

Alan

She died in 1935

What age was she when she died as that would help with an approx birthyear. 

Is there a reason why you have posted on the East Lothian board as you say you don't know her place of birth?   

Freebmd has a Lilian Mary Chesney b 1869 Hendon www.freebmd.org.uk

EDIT

Would suggest you look on the 1911 census where you will find her working in Yorkshire

You can also find her on the 1901 summary here

www.1901censusonline.com

And also on the 1871 and 1881 censuses which are both free to search here

Many thanks, I went with the Edinburgh connection, wild stab in the dark really. Cheers.
