HOYLAND, Doris Elaine

Щ Д (Wesleyan Memorial 1922). b Sheffield 1897, adopted daughter of Frederick Hoyland and Eliza Emily Hoyland. 1911C Doris is listed as a pupil in Wandsworth, London. The family lived at ‘Belle Vue’, Jaggers Lane, Outseats when Frederick was a retired tailor.  Doris Elaine’s Red Cross record 1916 showed her from Belle View, Hathersage, a nurse at Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, and Military Hospital Aylesbury. She did not serve at Hathersage but her mother did.

HOYLAND, Eliza Emily (Mrs)

Щ 28 Thornsett Road, Sheffield, Assistant Quarter Master and head cook at Hathersage VAD Hospital.   We believe Emily Hoyland  is the mother of Doris Elaine. She was born Eliza Emily Church, but didn’t use the name Eliza, 1911C the family lived at ‘Belle Vue’, Jaggers Lane, Outseats when Frederick was a retired tailor and Doris was listed as a pupil in Wandsworth, London. Emily’s Red Cross record giving the above Thornsett Road address was dated 1919 so she must have moved, as husband Frederick died in Sheffield 1931, while living at Grove Road, Millhouses.  (No other Emily Hoyland in Sheffield fits). (DC 30/11/1918; ‘Miss E Hoyland of Hathersage VAD Hospital was listed by the Secretary of State for War for her valuable services rendered in connection with war’. Per WHW2W p 34 Quarter Master 1916, it is Mrs E Hoyland who actually gets mentioned by the Sec of State not daughter Doris.
