Drew,

That's great news,and thanks for updating us  :)

What a good job Beryl married Mr Green,or her daughters name would have been Penny Pockett  ;D

Isn't it lovely to be able to fill in some of the real life stories rather than just having dates of births and deaths?

Regards

Carol

It has been some time since I replied to this post. but for all those who have assisted
I have included this link to www.fighterboy.org.uk where you can see the almost completed story.
Just need to add the final chapter about 5 Dec 1940 then it will be complete

I am at a loss as to why I have been sent your message as I have no recollection of contacting you!!

If I can help please let me know what it is you need to know!!

On another tack a very old friend of mine is an Alan Pockett who lives in the Storrington Sussex area.

You replied to my post back in March 2009. See threads.

If your Alan Pockett is a relation to Beryll I would be interested if the family had any knowledge of her engagement to P/O Young.
Her only daughter Penny, has now knowledge except for the dog Henry.

  It would complete my research and put the final touches to his memorial website

kindess regards

I have spoken to Mrs Pockett, Alan's wife and she confirms that Beryll is (or was) a second(?) cousin of his.

They will give more details in a few days - she did not have time to chat just then.

That is great news. I am ever hopeful of getting confirmation of Beryll and P/O Youngs engagement from a family member.
 
Penny thinks her mother may have got rid of a lot of information when she moved but she does have, and has sent me some cuttings from newspapers about Beryll's time in the WAAF. It does mention her being engaged but not to whom!

I am hoping to persuade Penny to allow me to collect her father and mother's story but I think she feels I may be doing it for financial gain which is certainly not the case.

regards

Beryl was Alan Pockett's cousin, she died some years sgo. she was married to Gordon Green. They had one Daughter Penny , who is married to Chris Evers. They have son Toby(?) & a daughter Sophie. Penny lives in France.

I  MIGHT get more from Alan when I see him next month. Alan did have a Sister who died some years ago.
