Aged 60
Civilian War Dead
Died on Thursday, 7th August 1941


Ada was born about 1881. As yet her identity has not been confirmed. She was married to Henry MILES but her birth marriage, circumstances of death have so far proved impossible to find.

In the 1939 register the only Ada Miles married to a Henry Miles and of the right age was living in East Ham.
Ada was injured at Hall Cottages, Hall Road, Cowlinge. She died later the same day at White Lodge Emergency Hospital, Exning Road, Newmarket.

She is presumed to have been injured in an air accident or perhaps an enemy aircraft, but this has not yet been discovered.
