Tracing forwards, not backwards - Reginald Brimicombe

[Suelincoln]

I have just been alerted to your message by my daughter who found it accidentally while googling the spelling of my maiden name, Brimicombe.
Albert Reginald Brimicombe was my father. He died in 1991. I was brought up at 28 Bruce Road Lincoln but left in 1971 to go to university in Newcastle, where I still live. Dad came up to live in Newcastle too in the 1980s.
So we are distant relatives, which is rather exciting. I don't know about medals, though I do have an old trunk with family memorabilia in it which Dad gave to me when he moved up here.
I have joined this forum in order to communicate with you but don't know any more about it and whether there is a way of communicating privately.
I would also very much like to thank his former pupil who left such a kind message. Dad taught at Rosemary 's Secondary Modern and sadly not all of his pupils were as polite as the person who wrote in to this forum.
Hoping to hear from you.

Hello Sue. So lovely to hear from you. Thankfully I elected to receive email updates when I posted this thread, some time ago, so returned from my lunch break to find an email notifying me of your message I don't believe that as a new member you can send/receive private messages (until reaching a certain number of posts), but perhaps in that case you would like to email me. My address is leah dot kw at ntlworld dot com (usual formatting removed to try to avoid spam). I'd very much like to hear from you - we are certainly related, which as you say, is very exciting - I haven't yet made contact with any relations from my Brimicombe heritage, but have found our relative in common (Capt William H Brimicombe) very interesting for years. I have some photographs of, and documents relating to him which you might like to see.
Best wishes,
Leah.
