Everything tagged: WW2: Interned at Stanley Camp

Nursing sister interned in Stanley Camp and acquaintance of James O'Toole who looks for her but can't find her when he visits Stanley from Shamshui Po in 1945 (see https://gwulo.com/node/14390).

William and Ellen Whiteley lived first at no. 17 and later 16 Broadwood Road. They were close friends and neighbours to my uncle, Leslie Warren and his family from 1924 onwards. William Whiteley was at first with Associated Petroleum and latterly manager of the company Der A Wing & Co. The couple were interned in Stanley Camp. (Information kindly supplied by Tony Banham.)

Any news of them post-Stanley would be welcome.

Tony Banham has kindly extracted the full name of Mrs Whiteley, my cousin's godmother and her husband from his list of Stanley Camp internees. She is Ellen Frances Whiteley of 16 Broadwood Road latterly, and earlier of 17 Broadwood Road, one of the houses rented by Associated Petroleum. Her husband was William Henry Whiteley, (b. 11.10. 85) also interned. I don’t know if Ellen and William survived Stanley.
