From 1941 I lived in Clowne with my grandmother Mrs Turner. I have many happy memories of my time there and I am wondering if anyone has any memories of the family, apart from myself, Patricia, there was Eva, Jimmy, Christine & Bobby.

My mom's name was Helen Evelyn Rodes. She told me he family's name was deRodes and somethng about Horn Castle and Lincolnshire.

My name is Maxine Marie Elizabeth Turner
