Dr Ada Jackson-where am I going wrong?

[Military Kit]

I have just seen this thread. I was very interested in what you may have found out about the life of Ada Jackson as I have been researching the life of Gwenllian Rawlinson Bevan [1887-1950]. She was a trained dispenser, who served in WWI. In the 1939 Register she is living in the same house as Ada Jackson at 255 Anlaby Road, Kingston Upon Hull. As they both had a medical background I wondered what role they died in might have carried out in WWII? Gwenllian Bevan was still living at that same address when she died in 1950.

Yes! That's the lady.

I'm writing a book about a number of the local medical women in Hull and Gwen popped up in relation to Ada. Ada had a practice with another female GP at the same address but she died after service overseas.
I often drive by the address and think of them both. It's split into two units now, a bargain beer shop and a fish and chip shops.

That sounds really interesting. You must let me know when the book is available.

I think it will be a while!

Are you related to Gwen? I've only come across a photo of her father online, I'd love to see what she looked like.
