RootsChat Challenge: Photos found in Sussex Pub- Joyce Britton
« on: Sunday 22 August 10 11:37 BST (UK) »
There is an item on BBC Sussex pages showing some photo's from an album that had been left in a Sussex pub.

Some of them show a Joyce Britton who appears to have gone to Canada in 1937.

If anyone has lost this album they can contact Sussex [AT] BBC.oc.uk replacing the [AT] with @

Jean,

I've featured your posting as a 'RootsChat Challenge' - I'm sure we can get to the bottom of this one between us all.

Does any one have any ideas to get the ball rolling?

According to the manifest, Joyce, Frank and Thirza's intended  permanent residence was England but Valerie's was Canada.

Well, there's no proof that it's her so far. I was wondering if our Canadian cousins might check at their end!

I like to be sure  :)

Joyce died in 1985, unmarried in Eastbourne, Sussex and it looks like both her parents died in the UK as well. 

Wonder if there are any siblings of Joyce & Valerie here still?
