Maybe Jean could contact the Beeb and we could all meet up in the Sussex Pub  :)

Do you think they'd like the photos restored  ;)

There are still some Britton folk living in Eastborne.

As the wills only go to 1940's we can not find the family
in them. :(

So much info in such a short time.  ;D

 Don't know how long the item has been on the pages, it wasn't there yesterday and when I just looked again it's not there. Possibly because they only show about 4 or 5 items under the Features heading at any one time.

I do hope the album can be returned to it's rightful owners.

I have sent a message to BBC Sussex to let them know I have posted on RC and hoepfully if there is a successful conclusion someone there will post and let us all know  :)

This news item was posted on the BBC Sussex website some weeks ago now and I managed to trace and get in touch with 2 grandchildren of Joyce's brother.  Both have contacted the BBC (not sure if they ever got a reply) and I contacted the BBC myself too.  The reply I got (on 13 August) was that they were hoping to have an update on air in a week or two once they had tracked down two grandchildren of Joyce's sister, who they hope live in the Sussex area.  I'll be interested to see what the outcome is...such a fascinating story..but at least I managed to put two first cousins back in touch with each other!!  Dazey

Well done Dazey, wonder why it was on the site this morning though if two relatives have been in touch.

  Perhaps they have not yet been able to identify to their satisfaction who the owner of the album is otherwise why would it have come up on the site this morning.

Maybe the Beeb needs to have the pub identified as proof  of ownership :-\
