My Family
My memory is of going to my granny and grandad Fish, it was a big family of them, I know I have an aunt still there called Valerie Newman (I think) and my aunt Rosemary who had 3 daughters. I would love it if anyone knows them or knew my dad, Richard John Fish. Do get in touch with me as whilst I remember going there it is a very hazy memory.

Whilst trying to find where my relatives were living I spoke to the local postmaster who gave me Mrs Fish's phone number - would you like me to send it to you?

RE: RE: My Family
In the 1950s I used to cycle down to Small Dole from Tooting in London, and stay at my aunty Josie's at 'Jonada' which I think was a few doors away from the Fishes and Grettons. All of the Laylands, Charlie, Josie, John and Trevor (except for Tony and Andrew who rode a Vincent Comet there) went to Austalia on the 10 package scheme and I see them from time to time. I can remember playing rounders in the field off the main road, using the arm off my aunty's tailor's dummy, with them and the village kids and meeting girls like Ann Sherwood, who I think later married Ken the village shopkeeper's son. and one called Valerie who I remember being remarkably graceful. I can remember Auntie making tea for the German POWs who were working on the farm in front of 'Jonada' and the milkman who used to have a cup of tea with most of his customers and later was suposed to have got tea poisoning!
