The Vintner Farm

My father, Dudley David Wright, who lived in a poor section of Grimsby with his foster mother Nellie Fields and was born in 1924 told me of summers he spent in Dogdyke on a farm owned by a Mrs Vintner. Another person who summered there was Edith STokes, who died in the 1980's or 1990's. My father later emigrated with my mother, sister and I to Australia and has since died and I have no record of his birth parents, though know his mother was called Daisy Wright and was from Nottingham, nor of the Vintner family who were so kind to him and provided what he remembered as idyllic summers the highlight of his childhood. I are eager to learn of anyone who may know of the farm or of any of these people in their own family records. Is Dogdyke still a rural community I wonder, never having gone there myself.
