Margaret Elizabeth GALE

[Banks2233]

I am having no luck in finding information on this lady. So far I have she is the sister of Berkeley Gale, Robert Gale and Arthur Mitchell Gale. She was born 02/09/1879 in Cork, Ireland. she was a Missionary in Madagascar, and arrived back in England, by ship in March 1936. I also found an article from the Andrews Newspaper Index Cards, published 11th June, 1942, stating, Gale, Sister M.E- Last heard Singapore, January. News gratefully received, Mrs Gale, 6 Returns Way, Sevenoaks. I would love to know what happened to her, if she travelled back overseas, where she died, or if she married?? Her mother was Mary Wilhelmina Gale (Shine)  and father Parnell Gale. Thankyou for your help.

Just to alert you that this reference probably relates to the following, different person:

Very sad.

The Portsmouth Evening News of Thursday 18 March 1937 reports the death of a Lieutenant Colonel Robert Gale - son of Parnell Gale - and goes on to mention a Miss M. Gale (sister) and a Mrs Berkeley Gale.

Might be related. I'm sending you a pm.

Given the information in the thread at the link below, specifically reply #6 (reference to "Earnley Cottage") & reply #9 (reference to "Lora Duff Gale"):
