Looking for a man named John (approx 59/60 years old), his parents are Joseph and Daphne. Unsure of surname.
Joseph's father/father-in-law(name not known) owned a workshop, with petrol pumps (believe to be Shell) infront of their house, which he used to work at.
Daphne was best friends with a Rose Harding (maiden name Mort), her son Neil Harding visited in the summer of 1962/63 and would like to track old friend John down.
Unsure if John still lives in Wing.

Several generations of my ancestors were born~ lived & died in Linslade from the early 1800s right through to the early 1900s. Most were working on the railways and lived in and around Wing Rd~ Southcott & Southcourt~ Rose Cottage~ Gibraltar Square~ Soulbury Rd~ Old Road. Examples: Ambrose Holland Snr (married Sarah Chandler~ 7 kids)~ Ambrose Holland Jr (Married Mary Ann Jelley~ 7 kids)~ Charles Holland (Married Sophia Wheeler moved to Harlesden~ 3 kids). I would be very interested in any old photographs of any of these places or articles~ stories~ etc. from Linslade around that period - or anyone who has links into any of these other family trees.

• Fred - thank you this is very exciting I would love to know more! I had already located Lillie in my research, but the trail down that branch went cold. Can you drop me a note at the following e-mail address and we can exchange contact details & hopefully chat further. I am directly descended from Lillie's older brother Charles and I have also made contact with another suriviving relative of Lillie's older brother John Emmanuel. m.holland@sky.com

• Just seen your comments re Ambrose Holland he was my gr Grandfather Granny Holland(Mary Ann Jelley) brought up my father when his mother Ambrose's daughter Lillie died. To complicate things Mary Ann's sister Jane married my gr grandfather Thomas Dawson. I was born in Willesden but lived 57 years in Linslade. I do have some photo's re the above.

I'm researching my family history from around the Luton area~ particularly the families of William Wingrave who emigrated to Melbourne around early 1900's. I will be travelling to the Luton/Wingrave area later this year (2009).
