Don't know in which section this belongs so will try it out here and no doubt will be told if its not right!
An aunt (now dead and about whom I know very little) was awarded an MBE for services to nursing in the New Years Honours Lists, probably during the 1950's. Can anyone suggest where I could view the lists of recipients for that period in the chance of finding out a bit more about her through this connection.
They were listed in the London Gazette, try emailing [email protected]
witht he request that they look for your Aunt's name in the lists for the 1950s.
Thanks, DotH and jno for your suggestions.
I went into the London Gazette website but the Honours lists on-line did not go back as far as the 50's. I also e-mailed my request to them and received a reply that personal enquiries could take weeks to answer!
Sphinx_Svens, nice of you to extend your sympathy!!
