World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII
Victoria "Queenie" Cross
Land Army
from:Chester, England
My mother was a member of the Women's Land Army during WW11, I am trying to find any information that I can about that period. Victoria's details are Born 6.4.1915, Chester England. All that I know was that she worked on a farm during the hay harvesting time and when the Germans flew over they used to hide under the hay wagon for cover. I am the daughter of Victoria and I am seaching her family tree, unfortunately she died in 1.2.1971 aged 55. Victoria was married to David James McNeilly Nesbitt St Mary's Chester 1941. I would appreciate anything that you help me with. Kindest regards Aileen Parker-Walker (nee Nesbitt)
