born 1897 in Wrexham Wales.
I think she died in 1941 in an air raid in London but I cannot find any record of her death.
My Aunt told me that Elizabeth ( k/a Bess) was a land girl.
Can anyone help with this wall please?

Thanks

someone born c1897 would seem to be a bit old to be a land girl in WW2 she would be in her 40,s

Gee

Gee Report 4 Feb 2012 17:52

She could be Dawson, Lawson, Lowe or even Wright!

Susan.....................helllllp :-)

Its all very complicated!
Fathers name was Lowe but changed to Lawson.
Wright was mothers maiden name and after falling out with her father she dropped the Lawson ( I think).
Land girl in ww1 and casualty of air raid in ww2
Alot of this is heresay so I apologise.

Elizabeth or Bessie was never mentioned by my grandmother and apart from one photo given by my aunt , I have nothing.
I have ust found a marriage in 1938 - Gwilym Jones and Bessie Wright but who knows?????
It has been an unsolved puzzle for years and I keep coming back to it
