Kia ora
Some time ago I was researching one of my family who was killed in the bombing of the POW Clapham October 1940.
Since then I have received a newspaper clipping of the incident which mentions the following names;
"Mr Walter Scott Landlord & wife escaped Unhurt"
Their children Iris 12, Harry 9, and June 7 sheltered beneath a staircase. The girls were rescued by wardens. Harry walked out unaided.
The 12 month old baby Lorraine was asleep and my relation ESTHER ALBERTA FOLWELL "was found sheltering the baby with her body."
Both went to hospital. Esther died 3 days later.
I would like to know if the baby Lorraine Scott survived?
Can anyone help/have the family in their tree?
Many thanks
