DO you remember Vera Dawson who lived with her father and brother Bill in Front Street, Haxby over 50 years ago? I was evacuated there with my mother and brother during the war and spent many happy days with Vera and family.

For many years after the war we remained friends, but sadly lost touch in I believe the 1950s.

Vera married a Bob Atkinson in 1947.

I would be grateful for any news or information, I am visiting Haxby on May 14 just to see the place again.

...I AM trying to locate Barbara nee Bonsall. We lost contact in the late Forties. Her family home was 3 Chestnut Avenue, Heworth, York.

Her father was a postman and her brother was a Post Office engineer.

If you can help please contact me at the address below.
