Default Manchester Fany & VAD's

My name is Pete but there must be lots of Peters on here so I'm known as Gerry I answer to either.
I'm not particularly into badges and my main interest is in WW1 watches and thats what has lead me here.
I have a watch known as a Borgel cased watch dated around 1917/18 that was presented to a lady who was living near Manchester and in 1914 volunteered to drive a British Red Cross ambulance. In 1918 along with her youngest sister left Manchester and severed with the FANY in and around Calais.
I have researched on the internet and gathered a lot of back ground information but I'm hoping that there may be someone on the forum to help me out further with specific knowledge about the BRCS in Manchester and the type of badge she would have worn in both places if the were different.
Pete aka Gerry
