Noticed I'd sent this to list yesterday to the wrong address!Here's hoping I've got it right this time! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yvonne Edwards <vonavitchy@googlemail.com> Date: 8 Oct 2007 13:59 Subject: BIDWELL in COOLHAM & PUTNEY To: " SUSSEX-PLUS-L-request@rootsweb.com" < SUSSEX-PLUS-L-request@rootsweb.com> Hi All, First of all I hope I am posting on the right list for Coolham and Putney? Apologies if its not the right list(could someone advise me if i'm wrong please) I am helping a family friend trace her tree. Her father -Frank- birth certificate shows he was born in feb 1909 London Rd Croydon, mother said to be May Lydia Bidwell of same address and a domestic cook in norfolk as occupation. I have been in touch with some very kind people on both norfolk and surrey lists and also the Croydon studies dept. and still cannot find a May Lydia Bidwell anywhere! Frank is known to have lived somewhere in Putney, as he took his daughter there in the 1980's to show her the house they used to live, and took photo's, but there is no sign of where abouts it is! Also she recalls Frank visiting a church yard with a cemetery in Coolham to his Uncles grave. Apparently Coolham has a Post Office 2 shops, a garage, a pub and this church, and about 4 houses. One of the houses he took his daughter to in the 1980's he called at and took photos as thats where his Uncle used to live. I was therefore wondering ..hoping even..IF (and hopefully i am!) i am on the right list, would someone on the list be living anywhere near Coolham to do a look up for me of any BIDWELL's please.This might then give us a lead to the rest of the family.(fingers crossed!) Thankyou very much in advance. Regards, Yvonne Edwards - Cardiff, U.K. -- Regards, Yvonne Edwards - Cardiff, U.K.
