Lily Dorothy Carron

A Civilian, Lily died on 26th of May 1941 aged 32.
 
Lily was born at Lowestoft on 3 August 1908, a daughter of William Francis and Harriet Carron. She was baptised at Saint Margaret’s Church on 18 September 1908 and her family lived at Wood’s Loke. In 1911 her family lived at 4 Boggis Cottages, Wood’s Loke. In 1921 her family were living at 4 Wood’s Loke, and this was still their home in 1939 when Lily worked at a hotel. 

The cottages at Wood’s Loke were seen as a place of safety and several people from the town moved there. On 26 May 1941 an enemy aircraft, while being harassed by anti-aircraft fire, discarded its bombs in the Wood’s Loke area which damaged the cottages and caused many casualties. 

Lily, her mother Harriet, her sister Daisy, and her nephew Ivan, were at the family home, 4 Woods Loke, and all died there during the air raid.
