RE: RE: Butchers Shop

Hi Sharon, I do remember Webbs Butchers Shop,my late father Ted Raines knew Tom Webb well. I remember 3 Webb girls at Lyminge School, Betty, Margaret and Jenifer. My mother Hilda also worked for Dr. Mrs Mitcheson. Lyminge did well for butchers, at one time we had 3.

RE: RE: Butchers Shop

Hi Margaret, Yes that's right, there were 3 Webb girls, did you know my grandfather Gordon Leslie Webb (known as Dick) and his son David (my father) or the Holliday family?
