4. Find A Grave
   1. • Citation:

        Queenie May Anscombe was born in 1909 in Dover, Kent, England. She was the youngest of 10 children of George Anscombe, a harness maker, and Elizabeth Mary Ann Holmes, who had been married at Southwark in 1886. Queenie was orphaned after her mother, Elizabeth, died in 1913 and her father, George, died in 1918.

        Queenie was immigrated to Canada by Dr. Barnardo's Homes in September 1922. She was placed with farmer Orval Harwood in Raleigh Township, Kent, Ontario. Sadly, almost a year after her arrival in Canada, Queenie was burned to death in a house fire. It was thought that she may have poured kerosene on a lighted fire causing an explosion and the house to burn down.

        Her exact grave cannot currently be located as: "Single graves are interspersed all over the old section, many along the fence line, some near the old mortuary and some in gores. They were usually pauper's graves."
