hazel Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I have a friend born 1937 and lived on Ravencarr Rd called Vera Thompson, anybody out there that knows her ? hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert T Smith Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Albert T Smith i very much doubt it as the did not come on to the manor till the early 60s their previous home being at woodseats I may well be mixed the name up with Darvill instead of Darlow. She was in the Choir at St Swithens. The Miss Thompson born in 1937 must have gone to Stand House School. So I would have known her. If she is Catholic - She would have gone to St Theresa's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatty dumps Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi Tatty dumps My sister Joans daughter reads the forum and has told me my sister did work on the buses so I oweyou an apology. We live opposite Rollet Close , when did you bump into my sister at the market traders. Joan will be 72 in June and lives on the Beighton estate and rides a mobility car. Regards Betty. Hi Betty - I bumped into Joan about 30 years ago and I can't even remember where the dinner was held. I was surprised that we both recognized each other she hadn't changed much. I really enjoyed chatting with her. It's funny to thinkmof her as 72, she was always fit. I qualify for a mobility car as well but I am unable to drive and none of my children live in Sheffield. Please give her my regards when you see her . I was with a bloke called Fred at the dinner and she knew him as well. All the best Mavis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
