GILBERT - Evacuee Letters from Louth
« on: Tuesday 15 June 10 11:49 BST (UK) »
I have some copies of letters written during the second world war by a Mrs S Gilbert who lived on Southlands Avenue in Louth, Lincolnshire. They were written to my great grandmother, who's youngest son was evacuated there.

I would very much like to give copies of these to her family as they paint such a lovely picture of what was, in essence, a most turbulent time.

Unforunately, other than a house name, I do not have any further details so if this seems familiar to anybody then please give me a shout.

Best wishes
Jo  :)

Or e-mail the local paper. I think it might be the Louth Leader.

Hi, just had a look in the North Lincolnshire BT directory and there are only 2 Gilberts with LOUTH numbers.
01507 603379 in Louth
01507 534493 in Fulletby, village near by.

Good Luck
