Title: Irene Richards
Post by: Mitch13 on Tuesday 08 March 11 10:01 GMT (UK)
Hello everyone, I'm trying to find any family members or old friends of Irene Richards (nee Shaw) who died back in 1960.  She had three daughters one of which has died and one who was adopted.  Any information no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mitch,

I would suggest that you might find a report of the fire in the local newspaper.

Do you know the date of the fire?

eMail: central.localhistory@doncaster.gov.uk | Telephone:  01302 734307 | Text:  71006
Address: Central Local Studies Library, Central Library, Waterdale, Doncaster, DN1 3JE.  

Email the library (details below) and see where that takes you.

Best wishes,
Copperbeech5

Thank you.  I went to Doncster and found details for the fire.  I am now on the hunt for anyone who may have a photo of Irene Richards nee Shaw, she was born in Don Valley in 1918 and lived in Avenue Road, Askern, Doncaster until her death in 1960.  She was married to a Welshman called Robert Richards and had three children.  Anyone who knows anything about her please get in touch.  Lorraine
