Hi Mike,
I'm really glad that you're getting somewhere with The Ruins. Maybe these people will know more about the place:

I came across rather late your discussion on the Ruins , Alersford, UK and your reference to Nina Olga Nicholson. She and Olga Vera Evans lived there from about 1940 to 1980. Olga Vera (presumably her mother) was born Vera MacLean in 1890. Her mother (Louise ) was my great grandmother from an earlier marriage. I have a fair amount of info on both of them - mainly their travels back and forth between UK and US. Vera seemed to have travelled one way at least every year on average for 40 years - often on major ships like the Queen Mary. I gather that Nina's father was in the Army in India where she was born - but I have no hard facts. If you can help me out with any info , I would appreciate it.

Good Mike.
My interest is Vera's mother but there are some fascinating back stories with Vera and Holden Evans who she married some time earlier.
