Finland

We were hoping to blip a screenshot of a record from the 1921 Scottish census released today (as noted on 26th September 2022). This would have been proof that Lorna Lloyd, her brother Theodore, and her mother Topsie (Alice) were in Stirling in 1921, as might be assumed from our earlier investigations. However, there is no record of them here. The puzzle is that nor is there any evidence of them in the 1921 census for England and Wales. 

So where were the three of them? We found Lorna's father Albert - he was living in a hotel in central London on the 1921 census date - but the others seem to have disappeared. If anyone would like to help solve the mystery, the full names that we seek are Alice Ethel Lloyd (born 1876 - though we know that she lied about her age), Theodore Pears Lloyd (born 1912), and Lorna Beatrice Lloyd (born 1914).

So instead of screenshot of a neat record from the Scottish census of 1921, here is a picture to represent Finland. This is the latest addition to our blipper-sourced album of locations that Lorna Lloyd mentions in her Diary of the war (previously blipped in full in the LornaL journal, and now available as a podcast series with Lorna's great-great niece playing her great-great aunt). Thank you to ArcLight for supplying this shot of the country's capital of Helsinki.

Calling Finnish blippers! We still need a couple other shots of your beautiful country for our journal. If you happen to have a photograph of one of the following places that you are willing to share (and that has not been previously blipped) please send it to h.hall@napier.ac.uk:

1. Hanko (Hangö)
2. Any location along the Mannerheim Line

Lorna mentions Finland several times in her war diary between October 1939 and March 1940. These dates are covered in Episode 3 and Episode 4 of our podcast series. 

We're also hunting for photographs of various other places. If you have one or more shot(s) that match(es) with the locations listed below (and that you have not blipped already), please do send it(them) to h.hall@napier.ac.uk and we will feature it(them) alongside the others that we have been blipping here since 13th July 2022. We will also add your name to our blipper credits list below. Thank you!
