Hello all,  I wonder if anyone can help here?  I am trying as part of a WW1 project to find out about Josephine Whitehead.  Who was an young engineer working in Serbia with the Serbian Relief Fund in 1915.  I think she may have been born around 1893. I would love to know about her and what became of this lady.  Just anything would be fantastic.     I have read some bits and bobs on the net and from a relevant diary. But nothing apart from her war in 1915. 

Thank you for reading this

Hello everyone,  I hope you can help me on this.  My grandfather was John Cumming and died on the 1/jan/1997 in Finzean.  He is buried with my Gran Isobel Petrie Cumming at Strachen Cemetery.  Strangely,  I have no idea of when he was born(26th of june rings a bell)  and where he was born.  He spent most of his life as a gamekeeper. 

His parents were Donald and Jessie Cumming of Crathie.

Can anyone shed any light on this?  Many thanks for looking.

Cheers
Alan

Margaret Helen Kerr

Date of Bith: 1879
Place of Birth: Campsie, Strilingshire

Good morning,  another of my Scottish Women's Hospital ladies. This case is different, i know her date of birth and when she died(1957). I know about her war years(i have that on my web site). What i don't know is what she did from 1919 till her death.  I think she returned to Serbia in 1919 and worked at the orphanage at Banjina basta(found her name in a book, listing that Margaret Kerr was in a photo)  and returned to Scotland to Lochearnhead. We have a Margaret Ker living in Lochearnhead and am convinced people are confusing Ker with Kerr. However in this link Margaret Ker is different to Kerr http://www.stirlingarchives.scot/2016/03/29/suffragettes-allt-grianach-lochearnhead-1935/ 

Any details of what became of Margaret Helen Kerr during 1919-1930's would clear this up.

Many thanks for having a look.

Hello, another of my ww1 nurses. Born in Macduff in 1882. Father was William and  Mother Euphemia.  I know she trained as a nurse in Alloa and Glasgow.   She joined the Scottish Women's Hospitals and served in corsia between 1917-1918. She was living in London in 1918 on her return but after that i have nothing.   Really if i could just find the date she died that would be grand.  Many thanks for looking.
