J. HARPER,Injured 30 November 1940 at 20 Belmont Road, died same day at Mayday Hospital. I have looked up details of the May Day Hospital which still exists but the following is of interest as one of the incidents happened so close to the death of Fanny "During WW2 the hospital became part of the Emergency Medical Scheme, reserving 500 of its increased bed complement of 562 for air-raid casualties (although only 328 of these were used in the end). A large air-raid shelter was built under the grounds backing Woodcroft Road (the antenatal clinic was later built on this site). In October 1940 a bomb fell through the roof of the Hospital and down the lift shaft, exploding at the base. Dorothea Groller, a telephonist who had remained after her shift because of the air raid was killed and three members of the staff were injured. . During the night of 11th January 1941, 26 incendiaries landed on the Hospital. All were extinguished except one unnoticed in the chapel, but the chaplain discovered it still burning the next day and successfully extinguished it. One pew was damaged beyond repair. In April 1941 the Maternity Isolation Unit was destroyed by a bomb. The Unit had previously been evacuated, but two mothers in other wards were killed. 1880 13 Claud Road, East Dulwich, Southwark, Surrey (baptism of Lilian Charlotte) 1881 7 Atwell Street, Camberwell, Surrey (Pam Bryant 10/1/2006) 1891 14 Atwell Street, Camberwell, Peckham, London 1901 14 Atwell Street, Camberwell, London. 1911 Atherstone House, Atkins Road, Clapham Park, Wandsworth Borough, London.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.

If you have comments, alterations, corrections, amendments etc. please follow the details to be found on the Home Page to contact me.
