Just a thought but would the marriage not have been intimated in one of the papers here?  I'm supposing the marriage took place the same year and in Calgary Valerie's destination.

I would have thought perhaps one of the better newspapers here would have carried an intimation of the marriage - Times perhaps?

Just a quick update...  neither of Joyce Britton's brother's grandchildren have had a response of any kind from the BBC.  Joyce's sister, Valerie, did indeed marry in Canada.  The BBC (in their response to me) said they had been inundated with emails and phone calls re this news item, and were hoping to hear from 2 sons of Valerie's son, Ian, who they understand live in Sussex.  I got the impression that they had names..and perhaps were waiting to hear back from them at the time of their email to me (a couple of weeks ago).  I just wish they'd post an update on their website!!  Dazey

deleted details of Valerie's death registration in UK after realising my post had just crossed with the previous from Dazey999.

Yes - that's her.  I'm being cautious not to post any details of living people...although I did send the BBC the address of a lady in Bath who I believe is Valerie's youngest daughter.  Dazey

It sounds very much like the BBC are waiting to hear from the person who actually left the album in the pub. Bit like if you have to identify lost property to the police. Would think they would have to name the pub and identify the album and if there were any other pictures in in.

They would need to know it is being returned to - who they think - is the rightful owner.

 ;DGREAT NEWS!!!!  I have just heard from Joyce Britton's great-niece who has been in touch with the BBC today and they have FOUND the owner of the photo album!!
They didn't say who it was but they are doing a follow-up story on BBC SUSSEX on 3 September!
If I find out any more I'll post details here!  Oh, I do love Happy Endings!  Dazey ;D

That is great news.

I didn't know what I started when I posted details on Sunday. So much info in such a short time.

I hadn't realised the item had been on the web site earlier and I can only presume that as the owner still hadn't been found they put it up again. :)

Like Dazey I am so pleased the owner has been finally found and I look forward to seeing more details on 3rd Sept.  ;D

Well done everyone and thank you

Jean

Tomorrow's the 3rd!  But I've no idea which programme it's on...am guessing maybe the local news at 6.30pm.  Dazey
