Both are on the Electoral Role and are easy to find in census and BMD records.

Details also listed in WW2 Civilian Dead on ancestry.

Frances Magdelene Daniels and Agnes Swanton Galloway.

Saw it when it was broadcast, took less than 10 minutes to find the details.

I spent nearly 3 months in the hospital back in the '60s, so had to take a look.

There is a mass grave in cherry Lane Cemetery in Hayes Middlesex for the women of the EMI who were killed when there was a direct hit on the EMI in the WW2, and I might had Cherry Lane part of it might disappear if the third runway goes through
