Hi 350velo

Yes my Dad is your cousin!.  I have passed on your message regarding your Mother and he was pleased to hear she is ok.  I have a family tree which was given to me by my auntie Doreen which was put together by another of your many cousins (i wonder if you know how many there are?) Malcolm, son of James and Audrey Licence.  The family tree shows the direct line through the Licences back to William Licence (Lycense) born in 1540. After visiting my auntie Phyllis and hearing all of her stories regarding growing up and of the Lious home, it prompted me to try to find any more pictures on the web, which is how come i stumbled upon this site.  You are exactly right with your account from your mother on the Lious Home and the children there.  My auntie Phyllis is desperate for her stories to be passed on, as I expect your mother is too. (ps. in my last post i got my dad's DoB wrong it should have been b1935!).

Hi Funkymum, I have just been to visit my Aunt who lives in holland on sea and she was telling me all about our family history. my Auntie Phylis (b1930) and my dad Douglas(b1938) were both born at The louis home in portslade, My Grandma and granddad (Elsie and Cyril) were the housekeeper and groundsman there, my aunt has fond memories of her time as a child there it would seem that some of my grandmas sisters and brothers also worked there (there were 15 siblings!). She said that the children who were there were always well looked after.  She went back to see the place a couple of years ago and they had builders there doing some renovation, so i know the building still stands.  my auntie has a photograph of the home in a frame at her house.
