My aunt who was known as Peggy Mecham, but officially as Elthel Lily Mecham went to Amercia - it is thought just before or during the war. She was a nurse.
She was born about 1901 and her parents were Caroline Sarah and William Albert Mecham who lived in Greenwich, London. She had lots of borthers and sisters.
I have been told that she married twice, the first ended in divorce - both to Amercians, and had no children. I have also been told that she died about 1945 in Amercia - but I am not sure this is the case.
I would like to trace anyone who knows of her, or who she married. Many thanks Melanie.
