I sang in the Choir of All Saints when I was a Treble from about 1964 to 1967/8. Mrs Marjory Bird was Choir Mistress and her husband Ken sung Bass in the Choir. Mr Fisher was the organist and during my time at All Saints the Vicar was Father Norman Kelly who came from Northern Ireland. I was good friends with Ian Morrison and his sister Trudy who both sang in the choir too. ...see more

I lived at no. 22 Brookfield road with my sister, Sue and My brother Neil. I married in 1971 and now live in a village near Reading with my husband Colin. Sue married Glyn Lake who lived in parkside and they emigrated to Canada after they got married, and later moved to the States. Neil moved to South Africa with his wife. Unfortunately Sue, Neil and Glyn have all passed away.

I lived in Broomfield Road from l947 until I got married in l976 in this church. I also remember going to West Byfleet primary school and being in Mrs Crabbe's class with Miss Hey as headmistress. When in my early teens, I worked on Bentley's farm in the evenings with Marilyn Bailey.

My birth certificate states I was born 1940 in Byfleet in an Emergency Hospital. Does anyone know where that would have been. Have no idea why I was there except my mother (a Canadian) was returning home to Canada but was unable to do so because of the war. Perhaps she was stranded here or perhaps her husband had family in the area. Any help appreciated tracking down the exact place where this hospital would have been. Many thanks.
