Hi,

A letter to a local newspaper might help to find her.

I agree with Nanny Jan's suggestion, contacting the local paper is far more likely to bring a result than on here, where we are not allowed to mention living people. If there is an interesting story behind the reason you are trying to find her, you could contact the news editor and see if they will run an item in one of their columns. If Bracknell Motors is still in existence it might be worth contacting them to see if they can help at all.

Hi i was wondering if i block out the faces of the people in a couple of photos would that be ok to see if anyone recognises the location.
Thanks heaps

Hi again,
I have found out that Bracknell Motors was on London Road near the factories.
The manager was a man called Mr Chaplin.
I also found out that Lois went to school in London.
I know this is all very vague but i quiz mum each time i talk to her.
Thanks so much for everyone's help and suggestions
You are all amazing

I was looking at your TOT thread re Lois with similar response and first thought was 'Lois Club' http://www.loislink.com/history.asp
I recall them holding a gathering in NZ a few years back, not sure how regularly they hold them in different countries.
It's a 'long shot' but you never know ...
