Does Anybody Know Mrs. Kathleen Millman?

posted by Shin Yoke Weng on 24 Nov 2007 at 1:48 pm

it was in the 60s that this lady by the name of mrs kathleen millman from bexhill-on-sea wrote to me in malaysia. I was about 16 then and she was in her 60s, I think. She sent me christian literature regularly, cards at christmas and photos of herself (which I still kept somewhere among my old memorabilia). We corresponded for close to 8 years, and then there was silence. I believe she was single (but I'm not sure) and she once told me she had a niece closeby). Today I believe she would have passed on, for I'm now 58 years. I visited UK in September 2005, but I lost her address, and there was no way I could revive old memories. This matter has always been on my mind, and I would dearly love if somebody at Bexhill could shed some light on this lady to me. I may be coming again to UK end 2008 or early 2009, and if I can find an answer to this missing puzzle in my life, I will gladly move on when my time comes!

I was talking to my brother Victor Bryant in Canada last week and we got onto the subject of when we lived in Bexhill. He asked, as I am interest in Family History, if I could put a message on the box as he wished to know if John Burgess who lived next to us when we lived in Cornwall Road. I can about remember 2 of his other friends one was called David Bonham (I think) and his other friend lived in Edgerton Road and the end of his garden came onto the side of our house. Any help Victor would appreciate.
Thank you.

I only spent about 6 weeks at the Downs School as we moved very quickly to Kidderminster in Worcestershire and that is where I currently live. However, my cousin Jill Fairall went to this school and she still lives in Bexhill. As regards my brother Victor he is now in Vancouver and my sister lives, when she is in this country in Worthing.

My sister discovered these tiny bits of information after our mother's death. Now we are searching for them, because they are our cousins.

Miss Wilkins

I remember Miss Wilkins very well. Psychological warfare would aptly describe her methods. I can remember being sent out of geography and standing in the passage and hearing her footsteps as she stopped in each classroom but definitely heading in my direction!

It didn't occur to me to move and hide. As soon as she saw me I was in even BIGGER trouble - and all because I asked to borrow a rubber!!

Whenever I did anything "wrong" she would loom out of nowhere.

Those were the days.

Hi,

I was at Wilton House School from 1956 to 1965. Although I wasn't at Pendragon I do remember playing cricket against them several times, they always won, and football on at least twice, which happy to say we won.

As far as I remmeber and for what it's worth, we (Wilton House) always looked up at them as being slightly superior to us, they were always very smart in their (dark?) blue blazers. Daft isn't it what sticks in your mind after all these years. Regards Alan Taylor

Hello from down under,

My name is Andrew Shaw from Hamilton, Victoria, Australia. Im a firefighter here and my wife has friends of the family that moved to Bexhill from Croydon a few years ago.

As it turns out we may be heading to England next year so Marie can visit family as Marie hasnt been back "home" since she got to Aus in 1983. So Im wondering if there are many members of the local fire service around that I can keep in touch with so when we head over we have already made friends etc.

Eventhough its a long way off, I like to get things sorted early. I warn you though, Im also a collector of anything Fire Brigade related, so I will be snooping around looking for helmets to trade for etc ;-)

Looking forward to hearing from anybody re our visit.

P.s Bob & Jean dont know anything about our plans yet, but Im sure Marie will let them know at some stage.

Regards & Thanks Andrew Shaw.

I am requesting help researching my father's family (and mine!). For reasons too complicated to explain, I have very little to go on. My father, I know, was raised for some years of his life in/around Hamilton and was related to John Logie Baird - perhaps a cousin? His father had emigrated to the US and died early in his life - orphaning him. He was subsequently raised by someone in Scotland. He didn't know much about the family and was never inclined to share what he did. Is Mathew Baird reachable?

I remember Rex Salter I was in his class only between October 1962 and March 1963.
I can't remember the Head Masters name but he caned me on one occasion for being cheeky. There also was a very strict welsh man Who's class I was in very briefly.
We move from Bexhill in March 1963 and I left school, one of the last Easter leavers.
The maths teacher was a retired electrician, A very nice quiet man.
I won top of the class in the class test, and I think a boy whose name was 'Catt" I think Jack Catt was second in this maths test.

Hi Lyn, Thanks for replying. I didn't know anything was happening at the Downs. I've lived in Burwash since 1989, and lost touch with everyone,(under the thumb)
I had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago,so although i've recovered well,it pisses me off to hear you meet for tennis and maybe football. I have 3 daughters and a son, the last of whom is about to leave the nest. I also have two grandchildren. Christ I feel old.

Hi Rod,
Yep, they've actually knocked the old school down now. Sad, as it held lots of memories for us lot. Sorry to hear about your stroke, but good that you're ok.
You ought to pop into Egerton Park sometime on a Sunday morning, and catch us at our tennis! We're all getting older, mate!
Cheers,

Hi Brenda, I think you were in the same class as me at the Downs, my name was Jill Cook, my Mother in Law used to live in Bexhill until she passed away in 2012, do you remember a lady called Judy Jenkins, she used to do my M in L's hair, and I know she is friendly with a Lady that was Maureen Ball, Maureen had long blond hair at School, unfortunately I lost touch with Judy as I didn't have her address in Bexhill, Judy had tight curly hair.
I lost my Husband a year ago and by chance found this site, it would be interesting to hear whether you remember me.

Hi
Looking for a guy named Ryan! We met briefly in the summer of 2016 when I lived in the UK. We first met in Brighton. He's got dark hair, should be in his late 20's, maybe 27, 28 or something like that. He's a plumbing engineer. He likes to listen to metal, I remember him talking alot about Killswitch Engage! Also really into historical stuff! We made a daytrip out to Dover Castle and Canterbury together. He had just bought a silver BMW at that time. His last name could be Hawkings, Higgins, Haines or something similar!
Don't know if he still lives around Bexhill, but I would really like to get in touch with him if possible!
Br,
The Girl from Sweden

Looking For Hetty Cole

posted by Tammy Snider on 10 Apr 2021 at 2:32 am

Hi, I'm searching for any info on Hetty Cole (nee West) who lived in Bexhill with her husband John and daughter Pamela (and a son whose name I don't know) during the 70's for sure and possibly most of her adult life. She was from Burgh Heath/Tadworth (sorry I'm Canadian and not certain of the geography.) She is my Grandmothers sister and came to stay with us in Canada in the mid 70's. We lost track of her a few years after she returned home and I would like to know what ever happened to her as I can't find any information anywhere else.
Thank you!
Tammy

I’m trying to find my first cousin, Michael McCarthy. Born circa 1956, he lived in a little bungalow with his mother in Turkey Road. He joined the Parachute Regiment in the late 70’s and into the 80’s and then moved to New Zealand, when the family lost touch with him. I would dearly love to find him again…maybe someone remembers Michael?

Looking For Ryan

Hi, I am still looking for a guy named Ryan! We met briefly in the summer of 2016 when I lived in the UK. We first met in Brighton in the beginning of July. He's got dark hair, should be about 30 years old now, or something like that. He's a plumbing engineer. He likes to listen to metal, I remember him talking alot about Killswitch Engage! Also really into historical stuff! We made a day trip out to Dover Castle and Canterbury together. He had just bought a silver BMW at the time. His last name could be Hawkings, Higgins, Haines or something similar, I could be wrong!
Don't know if he still lives around Bexhill but if anyone might know a Ryan that fits the description please let me know or let him know about this thread.
