David, A google search turned up this for Lloyd's Cove, Cape Breton. Coordinate Latitude: 46.25 Longitude: -60.21583 Nearest City Sydney, NS (7.3 miles away) Lloyd Cove, a bay located in Cape Breton County, Nova Scotia. Topo map of lat 46.2500 and long -60.2158. Topo maps, latitude and longitude coordinates, and address for Lloyd Cove. There are also some photo's of Lloyd's Cove at this same url https://www.trails.com/trail-lloyd-cove-nova-scotia-5241026.html *********************************** Another point of reference: Chapel Point Battery (2) (1914 - 1917, 1940 - 1948), near Sydney Mines Located on the southern side of Lloyd's Cove, near Church Street and Amber Drive. In August 1914 two 4.7-inch field guns were emplaced in a temporary earthwork battery on the 120-foot ridge about 700 yards behind the point. They were removed in November 1915. In October 1916 one 4.7-inch field gun was re-emplaced on the 160-foot ridge behind the point. It was relocated to Cranberry Head (see above) in May 1917. In 1940 two 4.7-inch MK7 quick-firing guns were emplaced here, later replaced in 1944 with two 4-inch twin barrelled MK16 guns. This was the WWII examination battery until decommissioned in 1943. A four-story concrete fire-control observation post was also located here, disguised as a church. Three searchlight positions were also located here in WWII. Extensive concrete remnants still remain, including the FC tower. The site is now town property. ************************************* Map showing other places around Lloyd Cove, Cape Breton: http://travelingluck.com/North+America/Canada/Nova+Scotia/_6058004_Lloyd+Cove.html#local_map Carol MacLean out here in very sunny but windy & cool Vancovuer, BC ************************************************************************************************************** >I am searching for a place name called "Lloyd's Cove," or at least that is >the way it was shown in my source information.

Geraldine gave selflessly to her husband and daughters through uncompromising love, support and care. She touched the lives of many children. When her daughters were growing up she put her heart and soul into the work she did with Passchendaele Brownies as part of the Girl Guides of Canada movement. Geraldine will also be remembered fondly by the many neighborhood children of Dominion Street who referred to her as 'Ma'. When her children finished school, Geraldine followed her lifelong ambition of working with the elderly and in 1997 completed the Personal Care Worker program at Marconi Campus, graduating first in her class. Since this time she has enriched the lives of the residents, their families and her colleagues at the Seaview Manor and will be remembered for her one of a kind sense of humour, inexhaustible energy and relentless determination. Geraldine will also be missed by the Friends of the Seaview Manor, a volunteer group she worked with for over 25 years. Geraldine took a great sense of pride in maintaining her home for her family and it is her wish that visitation be held at the family home, 248 Dominion St., Glace Bay on Wednesday, 1st September 2010 between 2-9 p.m. The Rite of Christian Burial will take place Thursday, 2nd September 2010 at 11 a.m. at her parish church, St. Anthony's, Dominion Street, Glace Bay with Fr. Charlie Cameron and Fr. Norman MacPhee con-celebrating. Friends and family are welcome to return to the family home to continue the celebration of Geraldine's life. To continue in her legacy, the family wishes that any donations in Geraldine's memory be made to the Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal (http://www.islamicreliefcanada.org).
