Hi Rozk

According to their profiles, Member hasn't been online here since 2010 and wardyward since 2011.

As long as their email addresses haven't changed they should receive notifications that we have posted and maybe come back soon.

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for the info and hopefully they will respond. Have ordered the book mentioned above and will contact Surrey history society. It's going to be 70 years this year since the bombing and sadly my mum passed away last year but we are going to commemorate the anniversary.

Thanks for the info about Ancestry will check this out. The tragedy of the bombing effected my family for decades and meant I never got to meet my grandfather or uncle who died.

Have checked the Commonwealth War Record site and it was my relatives that died that night. I felt quite choked up to see their names there. At least now we can commemorate their 70th anniversary on the day and we could even visit Walton on Thames where it happened.
