Title: Spain: Morales twins
Post by: mandypea on Sunday 27 May 12 12:04 BST (UK)
In 1937 twin sisters (*) Morales arrived in England from the Basque country, Spain. They were refugees who finally ended up living in Bradford. The dark red headed twins were 9 years old and were taken into my mother in laws home every weekend, from the Barnados home, Manningham Lane (which had been used rent free to house the refugees of the Spanish Civil War) After 1939 my MIL lost contact with them, not knowing if they stayed in England or returned to Spain. I know this is a long shot but my MIL would dearly love to know what happened to the girls, so any advice would be appreciated
