Oh my word, thank you both so much Irene and Japeflakes - they look amazing!
I did chuckle to myself about what those kids must have done to deserve the 'facepaint'.

Thanks again, Louise

Norfolk / Re: Horning Ferry Inn - WW2 bombing
« on: Monday 23 January 12 15:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Paul_Roberts, I'm sorry to hear your relative was involved (and that it's been 6 months since your post!) I don't know if you'll check this.
I went to the 70th commemorative event, it was a really busy night, the pub was packed and it was quite respectful to the events of 1941.  Not sure it'd be of any use, but I'd be happy to chat to you about it if you'd like to PM me.

I am trying to track down the historian who organised it, Eddie Steele (Steel?)
I briefly spoke to him that night and he had some great info about my Suttons research, so I asked for his phone number or email address, but he told me to just pop round to his house any time...
I don't suppose he is a member of this site?  I don't feel right just turning up at his house (he didn't give me the address, just roughly described it).

Hello all,

Just awakening this old thread to alert anyone who was interested to an event being held at the Ferry Inn on 26th April (the 70th anniversary of the bomb) organised by a local historian.
There will be live music, a plaque unveiling and a minute's silence; there was an article about it in the Evening News yesterday:

Norfolk Completed Look up Requests / Re: Rolfe family, Great Yarmouth - COMPLETED

Hi Julian, yes 75 King Street but it's Great Yarmouth, not Gorleston. They are a few miles apart.

Hello Chinditcoy1967

I'm sorry to hear your grandfather was also involved in this terrible incident.

I'm not at home at the moment so can't check whether he is mentioned in the article that Pompeyboy mentioned, but I'd be happy to pass a copy of it on to you if you'd like.

The Ferry Inn re-opened recently, so I got to go and have a look around (and a very nice chilli con carne!) There is a plaque on the bar about the bombing.

Hi Julian,

Sorry for the delay in reading your reply (arranging a marriage of my own!)

How lovely to find out that they got married in Canada.

This was pretty much the extent of my research on the Rolfe family; I was looking into them as previous occupants of a house rather than as relatives of my own.

I don't have anything else I can share with you, but would love to hear any more information about the family if you wouldn't mind.

Best wishes,
Louise

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Conducting 20th century research - help please?

Hi Robyn,

Thank you - yes that is the last mention of her that I have found, she lost her husband, 2 sons and her daughter-in-law when a pub was bombed.

I haven't checked the electoral rolls, I didn't realise you could do that. I'll definitely try that, thank you.

Family History Beginners Board / Conducting 20th century research - help please?
« on: Friday 16 October 09 13:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I have hit a brick wall trying to find out what happened to Rosabella Charlotte May Sutton (nee Storey).  She was born in Norfolk in 1882, and I know of her whereabouts until 1944, but I can't find anything after that.

She was known as Rosa in her marriage record (1903) and May in the 1911 census, but searching all combinations of her names has not found anything on Ancestry or Google.

What is the best way to research more recent events?  I would really appreciate some advice on resources.

Thank you :)
