Tiber, Kent and Portsmouth.
« on: Monday 09 May 05 21:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am trying to find out any information about a lady called Mercedes Tiber.
Some years ago I was given a photo album that my aunt rescued from a nursing home, it was to be disposed of, as the owner had died some years previous. My aunt gave me the album as she considered it too nice to be placed on the bonfire.
The album showed pictures from the First World War and just after, and was the record of a young VAD nurse from Kent. The young nurse in question was called, Mercedes Isabel Tiber and she was born in 1899. I have studied the album on many occasions and still do not know which one of the nurses is Mercedes. I should like to find out more about her and wondered if any of the readers would be able to help. I think she moved to Southsea in the 20’s (possibly Victoria Grove, then Outram Rd). She was still living in Southsea in 1976 and died in 1988 at West Meon.
The album contains 236 photographs, mainly of Kent, but there are some of Southsea, Chichester and Gosport and some from the Dockyard.
If you have any information or anyone who remembers her please get in touch.

Thanks.

Mick
