I was married in St Leonards and St Marys Church, Armthorpe, on 26 December 1963. My husband was Reg Ford from Balby. We worked together at Peglers Ltd, Brassfounders, Balby. We emigated to New Zealnd in 1965, through the Peglers Group. We have 3 children and are both still in New Zealand despite the marriage breaking down in mid 70's.
I was christened in St Leonards and St Marys church. Linda Parry, 166 Mansfield Cres., Armthorpe. Parents Norman and Florence Parry.
