Mary Elizabeth Connor
Womens Land Army
from:Accrington, Lancs
My Grandmother Mary Elizabeth Connor served in the Women's Land Army (the surname may have been O'Connor at that time as I am not sure when the O was dropped). I remember being told that she joined without telling her parents and that she was given a hiding from her father for having her hair cut as previously it had been below her waist.
After my mother passed away I came across a photograph of my grandmother, in the uniform of the WLA, the photographer was by F & G Beales, High St., Boston, England and I would like to know if there are records of when and where she served, can anyone help?
