Hi Douglas

So the name is Horspool and she is there at 12 Pine Cottages.  Her name is Mary. The district is described as  'Windsor' and not 'South Ascot'.  Two of the members of the household are blanked out.  However, listed is (presumably) her son Ted who is actually Edward Horspool, a fishmongers assistant.  The other person is Alfred Bickers, who must now be dead as his details are open.

Hope this helps.

Douglas this is amazing and can’t believe it.

Kenneth is my nans partner and the two girls are his cousins.

The house in Caversham street was bombed and a lodger lost his life and Kenneth’s Grandfather only just got away with his life.

Ken was back home when the house was bombed.

How did you find this out for further research.

Again thank you very much

Chris

I was one of the boy evacuees. Incidentally, Mrs Horsepool's house was in an unnamed road, now called 'Oliver Road', South Ascot.

Douglas I only realised this morning it may have been you.

Could I get your email or maybe you could email me on (*) to get more information about this?
