Hester Murray Naish

...... is a name we found on a plaque.
the plaque was on a Brownie flag which was from a group in Burnham on Sea school (Somerset) which was called St Christophers (Previously Naish School).
It was 'In Memory of' and said she was with those Brownies 1940-1941

All I can find is a entry of death for 1955 (Bristol area) which says she was born abt 1933
Also, Google turns up some kind of 'prize' with the same (unusual) name but nothing else at all.

I can't find her birth and I can't find a marriage - In fact, as you can see, I can't find much at all.

Any help appreciated - I know you guys like a challenge
