1. Dave Laws is seeking news of his old friend Dave Williams, now probably in his seventies, last known to be living near Linton Hospital, Coxheath, Kent

2. Jean Matthews (nee Hope) would dearly love to know if anyone has ever come across details of her great-grandmother Genty, whose maiden name she desperately seeks. Genty was the wife of John Golden Hope (also known as Golden Hope). Golden Hope died at Colchester about 1933

3. Mary Horner has searched for years with no success for the name of her great-grandfather Methuselah Hearn's first wife. For many years Methuselah and his parents Emmanual and Cinnementi Hearn "stopped" on Ruislip Common, Middlesex. During the last years of his life Methuselah lived at Chiswick, West London

4. Lesley Doe would love to know where the Brazil family who used to live in Send, Surrey are, especially Genty who was in her class all through their school years. Two of Genty's brothers were Albert and Sidney

5. Lena Walker (nee Lee) of Herefordshire would love to get in touch with any of the children of Letitia, Rosanna, Harriett, Billy and Edward Jones who were her mother Alice's brothers and sisters. Leticia married a man who owned Deacons Fair

6.   Sue Pearce would love to hear from anyone connected or who knows the Coopers' from the London area. "Vansloe Cooper married Defiance Penfold, she was a sister to Leonard, my grandfather. Others in that family were Vashti, Betsy, John, Noah, Caroline, Joe, Albert, Bob and Henry. Also any Penfolds' working on the Landau's on Blackpool seafront (I believe) - No free holidays required - just want to know what's happened to the family who left Devon years ago - would love to hear from you".

7. Selina Turner has sent the four photos below and wonders if anyone can identify the people in them - could be Smalls', Penfolds or from other West Country families:-
