Eddy Shreeve

Eddie Shreeve was my grandad. He was posted to Walton on Naze Coast guard. It was here that his daughter met her future husband, who was also living in the coast guard houses in Walton. My mum and dad, still live there. I have put 1975 as the year of the memory as that was the year that I was born and still have a clear memory of all the years I shared with my grandad. After leaving the coastguards houses both sets of grandparents lived at the bottom of our road so I saw them every day. He died when I was ten years old, and my nan, Queenie passed when I was 16 in 1991.

Edward Shreeve was my father. In 1955 we were living in Great Yarmouth where Dad was Station Officer in the coastguards. I am trying to work out who your grandparents are as either your grandad or grandmother must be my cousin? When we lived in Great Yarmouth Walter and his family were in Norwich. My cousin Gilda made several visits to see my mum in walton-on-the-Naze after Dad died and my cousin Annette had also visited in previous years. I haven't had contact with them for quite a few years now. I have 2 brothers who were very small when they lived in Winterton. I wasn't born until they moved to Great Yarmouth. I obviously have a lot of memories of my dad but am not sure exactly what you are looking for.
