Searching for an old friend of my Dads.
5th January 2021
Hi,
I'm trying to find an old friend of my Dads.
Back in 1958 / 59 my Dad was a Grenadier Guard, stationed at Romney Marsh and he met a girl called Linda Pope, who he remembered as having long auburn hair. He remembers visiting her family home on'The Close' Rye.
He remembers her having an older sister and younger brother, but cant remember their names.
He would love to get in contact her again.
Thank you in advance.
I can be contacted by e-mail on
[email protected]
Found cat
31st December 2020
Hi there, I have a cat that is frequenting my home and I believe he is possibly stray. He is a tuxedo cat. If you are missing one, please reply with a photo so I can verify whether he is yours.
Searching for Friend
20th June 2020
When I was at Rye Grammar School in the 1950s, I had a good friend, Hazel Davies. Would anyone remember her or know where she is today? She used to live on Pottingfield Road, Tilling Green with her parents and 2 brothers (David and Timothy). Can anyone help me?
Hilder's Cliff
1st June 2020

Family Looking for Accommodation
27th May 2020
Hi there,
We are a family of 3 living in Rye, we need a 6 month let whilst we commence some building works on our house.
Happy to look at any accomodation type and wondered if anyone here can suggest anything?
A flat, static or house would be considered.
Thanks so much for your kind consideration.
Best,
Carley

Hill House Hospital
14th May 2020
Hi,
I to had a sister who died there I found out that she was buried in the cemetery at the top of Rye hill as most of them were.No records were kept of exactly where they were buried only roughly.My guess is your sister would be there too ,if you contact East Sussex parks and cemeteries they maybe able to help.
Good luck Jenny

Hill House Hospital
30th January 2020
I had a sister, Janet Mary Sherwin, who passed away aged 16 on the 26th April 1960 at Hill House Hospital. It was thought she may have been buried at a nearby church but the only one I can find is Playden Church but I have no way of verifying this. Can anyone help?
