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]

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?

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.

Robert Sherwin:

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?
