Hello

I have just read your message and I am new to this site. I am one of (aunt) Millie's grandaughters. She spoke often of her life as a child and Pheobe & Lizzie. I took her to visit Lorraine Road at Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick. She was always very proud of her Romany history. We lost our beloved nan in 2007. So glad we sat and listened to her talk about her memories of growing up in Chiswick. She told us her father (John) was very strict. She spoke of her brother, Bert and her brother who passed away very young. She was in contact with Bert throughout her life. John, Bert and Millie were/are very musical. Millie loved music and singing, Bert piano and accordian (?) and their father used to busk musically but never locally as he was a very proud man. I know the music continued down the line. I too have a photograph of Kate with a basket of flowers. We were in contact with Jaqueline in the US around 2006. I can't quite recall her connection to Phoebe/Lizzie but we had exchanged a couple of letters. : )
