War record for Elizabeth Matthew born 1892 twechar
« on: Saturday 22 April 17 09:10 BST (UK) »
Elizabeth Matthew born 1892 in Twechar Scotland was working as a lacemaker in Ireland when war broke out.
She went to the 1st world war either as a Nurse or Ambulance driver.

Is it possible to source any records for women like her please, would love to see her war record.

 She met and married a NZ soldier at the end of 1918 and came out to NZ.

Any leads to access or find out about war records greatly appreciated.

Marriage record for Elizabeth Matthew
« Reply #3 on: Saturday 22 April 17 22:52 BST (UK) »
Is anyone able to do a lookup for me please re a marriage between Elizabeth MATTHEW and a Percy SMITH at end of WW1. I cant find marriage record in NZ so think the wedding may have been in hometown of Twechar.
Thanks for any assistance.
