Alexina Campbell Pert Born 1921, Alloa, Clacmannanshire. Married John Adamson 1945, Alloa Died 1989 The family story is that she worked in a munitions factory near Nottingham in World War Two. Does anyone know if there are any records of women who worked in munitions factories and the factories that they worked in; and if so where they are available? Many thanks, Dave
These forum posts describe a persons relatives from London who worked in tailoring pre war being sent to Nottingham to work in Munitions. Women in Munitions Factories employment record for War effort factory available? There was a Royal Ordnance Factory at Nottingham in WW2. ROF Nottingham - Wikipedia
It is possible that the lady was conscripted / volunteered into the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) and worked at a facility in Nottingham. My late mother joined them (never asked her if she was conscripted) and served at ROF Nottingham (Chilwell) from 'X' into 1946. See: Auxiliary Territorial Service - Wikipedia There are threads here on the ATS. It may be worth, long-term, to apply for a Service Record.
ROF Nottingham was a factory manufacturing guns. If she was in munitions (as in ammunition as opposed to guns) it may be she was at Ruddington. Ruddington Depot - Wikipedia Tim
Thank you very much everyone. Will take a look at the material you've suggested. As you say davidpfpo it's probably worth trying to get hold of her service records. Thanks again, Dave
