hello ladies thought I would post on here as my mum and her two sisters were all at Marden from around 1940-1950. I read out the list of all the names mentioned in other posts and she remembers quite a lot of the girls names especially Beryl, Sylvia and Joyce Cooper. My mum's name was Joyce Frecknall and her sisters were Audrey and Valerie, I think she was good friends with Joyce Jennings. My mum and her sisters were placed at Marden after losing their mum during the blitz in Southampton where their house took a direct hit but she has very fond memories of her days there and said they had good fun. Would be lovely to know if there is anyone here that would remember my mum and her sisters, unfortunately both of my mum's sisters have now passed away along with her two brothers. Would love to hear back if anyone remembers her, hoping that this thread is still active
