Hello rosie99. A shame but it's not the right girl.
I'm wondering if there's anyone who has access the the Mercury archive or if past copies are held in Deal library?
Unfortunately I'm not able to come down to Deal to go to the library.

Many thanks everyone. I hadn't realised that the name spelling could be wrong.
I don't think the marriage is the right one.
Does anyone know how I can look at the photo in the Kent & Sussex Courier?
I will also try the link suggested by Mckha489.
The only other information I have is that her father was a customs officer, she did spend some time in Venezuela before 1985 and that she had a son who was probably born in the mid 1970s.

The Common Room / Deal Local Paper - Local beauty Queen
« on: Sunday 13 December 20 14:22 GMT (UK) »
Hello does anyone have access to old copies of the Deal local paper "The East Kent Mercury"? I'm trying to find a photo I've lost which was of a lady named Leslie.... who was a beauty queen in the early 1970s or late 1960s.
The photo was head and shoulders and she was wearing a coat with a fur collar.
Rather vague I'm afraid, but a lost love who I would dearly like to have the photo of again.
I know she went on to marry and her surname became "Preece".

Looks like only the second part (pages 4 & 5) uploaded.
This is the first part which is pages 1,2 & 3.
Hope it makes sense!

Hello everyone.
I attach a chart of the information I have about Lushington and their links to the Matson family.
I hope that it's of help, but I suspect you may have most of the info. already.
I'm afraid I can't help with Larry Tate. perhaps facebook or other social media may help?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Elizabeth Reed nee Tancock Look up please
« on: Saturday 24 February 18 11:04 GMT (UK) »Thank you for your message and it's quite possible that this is the brother of our William Reed, however we are only following the direct line of the family and not anyone else. Best wishes.Thanks for your reply. I thought that might be the case. It's really easy to "branch off" when doing research.
I don't know where my family got it as we have no connection with the Reed family so far as I'm aware.
Best wishes for your research.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Elizabeth Reed nee Tancock Look up please
« on: Friday 23 February 18 11:42 GMT (UK) »I am looking for the parents and a death date for Elizabeth who was born in Newton Abbot, Devon approx.1843. She married William Webber Reed ( also born approx. 1843 in Morchard Bishop where his family had lived for generations) They married in Newton Abbot Dec. qtr. 1866 and after living in Torquay and Bridgewater Somt. and having 2 children William Colin and Emily Elizabeth, they moved to London where William was a coach builder with his brother Hubert. William died Paddington 1901 aged 59. Thanks in advance for any help with this.Hello,
I have an engraved City and Guilds Technical Education medallion. Engraved "Hubert Reed Carriage Building 2nd Prize 1884" around the rim.
It's 2 inches in diameter and about .25 inch thick. Heavy as well.
Could this be Hubert Reed, William Reed's brother, the date seems to fit?
Please let me know and if it's of interest to you.
