TONY MOORE by Steve Moore (Member 10276830) on 28-Jul-2012
If anyone knows the whereabouts of my son Tony Moore formerly of Romford Essex please advise. Last thing we knew he married Sarah Jane 'Twinkle' Devine but subsequently they both disappeared. His children are missing him dreadfully as are we. Thanks.

searching for teacher at Belfairs High School for Girls 1956-63 by Diana Clark (Member 10267946) on 28-Nov-2011
Hi
My name is Diana Clark, previously Diana Hamper.
I lived off Highlands Boulevard in Leigh and attended Belfairs High School for Girls between 1956-63.
I would love to know the whereabouts of my old French teacher who was Joyce Head Nee Richardson.
I believe she may still live in Leigh. If some-one has any information, I would love to hear from them. I now live in California, but return home every year. Thanks
