Is that the Nellie Whittaker who travelled with Thomas Henry Whittaker and Mary Ellen arriving Portland Maine in 1912 on SS Canada ?

Lived at 41 Cobden Street Moston Lane Blackley Manchester ?

Lived in Montreal Quebec on the 1921 census ? Did Nellie never marry ?

Sandra

H all

Looking for help in locating the grave of Franks Whittaker (d. 1976), Gladys May (d. 1991) and
Nellie Whittaker (n.d.) all are in the same grave. They are buried at the Royal Oak Burial Park, Victoria, B.C., Canada

I'm sorry I do not have grave plot or number.

But if anyone can locate them providing exact hate and if possible a photograph of the grave I would appreciate it

Thanks

World War Two / Re: Regiment-help needed patch on arm

Could be an ANZAC patch and possibly the cap badge is a new zealand fern

Hi Althos
This seems unlikely as he served in British Forces (Army). Thanks anyway, mate

An alternative: take a high res digital photo of it and crop off the part you don't need with the photo editing programme.

When printing, tell the programme to scale to A4 size.

Nell

Thank you Nell I will have a go
