The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich is looking for the above lady - anyone knowing her whereabouts please let me know. She was born around 1917 and lived in Southsea for many years. When she joined the Wrens (Womens Royal Naval Service) she sketched her work colleagues and gave some of them to the Museum (on show now July 2014).

I googled her name and it seems that many people have been looking for her genealogy for many years with no luck. She seems to be a mystery lady.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Hi Marion

Do you have any other information for Gladys, parents, siblings, husband and her children etc

Was 'Reed' her maiden name or her married name

If she was born in 1917 she may have passed away now
