On 6 January 1958 a third cousin 1 x removed, Dorothy Ellen Georgina Conquest, died in Palmers Green, Middlesex, aged 55.  Strangely, I had lived with my parents in Palmers Green until 1957, and had no idea that relatives, distant though they were, lived so near.  Even when we moved, it was only to Grange Park, still very close.

9 January 1910 my grandmother Doris Linnett was born she lived for 90 years and could remember her childhood very clearly. She was brought a book to write her family history in and she did this for each sibling and her parents and grandparents. She also knew her future husband from when he was a young boy as both families were great friends. So she was also able to complete her husbands side of the family's history as well. From her I have documents letters and hundreds of photos. So I want to say thanks gran and miss you loads.
