My name is Judy. During the early 1950s I lived in the National Children's Home in Harpenden. Every year a lovely family used to have me for a holiday, I would so much like to find them. I remember they lived in Gravesend in the High Street, they had a little shop. Their name was Mitchel and they had one daughter, her name was Celia Mitchel, she would be about 68 years now. I would love to know if anyones knows them. Thank you.
