Island :-D

It sparked an interest because West Ewell would just about have been in the catchment for my old secondary school.

I was giving that as a worse case scenario names.

We just don't know who any of these people are.

It wouldn't bother me if an old boyfriend tried to get in touch with me. :-D

Quite right Island.

But if they were to be interested in bad news then surely some sort of contact would have been kept over the years.

Andy would appear only to have been a neighbour of Ann.

Who said anything about 'old boyfriends'???

There are many scenarios as to why Margaret/ Andy is trying to find these ladies!

Perhaps Andy is trying to contact these former neighbours with unhappy news and is using his wife's account as a last resort?

When I first read the post I didn't notice that the thread was under the name Margaret but read the last line and assumed that it was Andy looking for these people.

Hence my confusion. Maybe Margaret/Andy could come back and explain.

The posters name is Margaret Broxton so what is the connection to Andy ?

Jackie is the same age as me and got married around the same time.

I am not sure I would want old boyfriends trying to contact me.

Edit: Am confused. The post seems to be signed 'Andy' and the text suggests to me that it is written by a man but the name at the top is Margaret.

Try looking for marriages on freebmd

If you know their ages try looking for their births too
