Josephine Whitehead
« on: Friday 21 September 18 19:50 BST (UK) »
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

Mentioned in this article.......

https://mdprogram.mcmaster.ca/docs/default-source/MUMJ-Library/v4_53---57---history-of-medicine.pdf?sfvrsn=0

Is that an educated guess at the date of birth ? Dorothea Clara Maude who befriended Josephine was a bit older, that's why I ask the question ?  (1879-1959)

Hello Sandra,  I did come across that link but not sure if it was ok to post it.  I found in another ladys diary that Josephine was 22 and that was 1915.

Oh right - ok - looking at the picture I wondered if she had seemed older. Have only found one Josephine Whitehead in that sort of age group so far and she was originally born 11/1897 Scotland living in Saskatchewan - immigrated 1911.  Would only make her 18 years old in 1915 so maybe not this one.  ???

Sandra,  Its not a bad shout as her nickname was "Kiltie" in the photo.  Had a feeling this one was going to be challenge.

This would be the same family back in Scotland 1901 Clunie Perthshire. Could Josephine be Euphemia  ???  I have seen reference to this alternative.

David Whitehead   34 Helen Whitehead   52
Robert Whitehead   13 Mary Whitehead   11
David Whitehead   9 William Whitehead   8 John Whitehead   5
Euphemia Whitehead   3

Euphemia Eadie Whitehead  - F - 1897 - 345/ 8 - Dron
