Donovan Family

May 23rd, 2009 Ann399 No comments

Im looking for information on William Donovan (whose name appears on the Twerton War Memorial), his wife Florence and daughter Rosie. William was born in Dunedin, New Zealand and was killed on 22 Sept 1914 whilst serving with the 1st Btn Devonshire Regiment which makes him one of the first New Zealanders killed in WW1. Florence was from Wellow and Rosie was born in Bristol. According to the 1911 Census they were living, at that time, at Eggbuckland, Plymouth and he was a farm labourer. Does anyone know anything about this family?

Thanks

Ann McDonald
