Another thing i was meaning to ask is do you know the D.O.B of Florence Broadhurst and also William Broadhurst. Rita was never told the D.0.B of her mother or father. At now nearly 82 herself i would loved to be able to find this out for her.
She knows her father died in January 1988 in Chatham in Kent.

Hi Margaret
Thank you so much for the copy of the paper clippings. Rita loved seeing them.
Rita said that her mother Florence and Arthur are buried at Yardley Green Cemetery. There isn't individual graves but there is a plaque on the wall. We are now actually planning on taking Rita to Birmingham next month. Rita moved to Essex many years ago.
After speaking to Rita she told me how her Grandmother Nesta had 12 children. you may already know this from your research.
here is a list of the names just incase
William (Rita's Father who married Florence)
Albert
Frances (Frankie)
Arthur
Edward (Ted)
Lily
Nesta
Gertude
Joan
Beatrice
Nellie
Jean
You mentioned St Martin's, is this in Birmingham??
Rita is interested to know how your husband Marc is related.
Due to her mothers passing Rita doesn't have much information regarding the family it only really been through word of mouth. As i belive later down the line she parted ways with her father.
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Emma

Hello There
My name is Emma and i have stumbled a cross this while chatting with my husbands nan. Her Name is Rita (maiden name) Broadhurst, her mum was Florence Broadhurst and her Auntie was Nesta Broadhurst.
You are correct in saying there air raid shelter was bombed. Rita and her brother John William Broadhurst were the only survivors as far as she knows. John recently passed away.
Rita was only 5 ish at the time so has limited memory but if there is anything she may be able to help with let us know. Also if you have any more information i know that Rita would love to hear about it.
Many Thanks
