Quizzy!

I thought it might be fun to do something a bit different (although I wouldn't be surprised if it has been done before).  Members think up quiz type questions and put them to the other members.  The first one to get this correct then pose another question.  Let's see how it goes, do join in the fun

There is a town named after me, close to the smoke that thunders named after an Empress of India. Who am I?  (feel free to add any other information, lol)

OK   I'm not sure I shall be as good as you are at this Cathy, but here goes....

I am now a statue somewhere in London, and I knew a darling family.  Who created me?

Is this the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, created by the sculptor Sir George Frampton? 

Or did you mean Peter Pan created by J M Barrie? Marjorie

Not at all Marjorie - and it adds all sorts of interesting information.

She was a Victorian lass, who lived near the sea and 13 people lived because of her.

Can you name here and what did she do?

Grace Darling.  She was awarded an RNLI silver medal for bravery for helping her father, a lighthouse keeper, to rescue the survivors of a ship which had been driven on to rocks during a storm in 1838.  ?
