I am most grateful to Joan Gill for the following
information.  Joan has undertaken some FH research
into these families on behalf of one of the
Fletcher family:-
Three generations of this extended family were
attending a Christmas party at 28 Varley Street. 
Eleven of them were killed in this incident -
three members of the Fletcher, Shaw & Silversides
families, plus two members of the Maycock family. 
They were all buried on 31/12/1940. |
