Since Tracey posted in 2004 and it was her one and only post I very much doubt that she will see your reply.

You could try clicking on her name and sending her a message and if she has kept Genes up to date with any new email address that she has then she may still receive a message from Genes telling them that she has a message from you.

Greetings,

Hopefully this will reach you despite being a very tardy response.
My mother is Eileen Spicer (née Beckett). She was brought up in Regents Park with Margaret, Jimmy, Harold, PERCY, Leslie & Jean.

Her father ( my grandfather) was Thomas William Beckett, he served in the Royal Artillery. His father was the bandleader at Eastbourne. My Uncle Percy was named after Percy Lawless.

My mother now lives in Goff's Oak in Hertfordshire.

Please respond from out there in the ether!

Kind Regards
Sallyann Roberts

Charlotte Victoria Beckett born in Eastbourne about 1880. She had a sistor Jane. Her Father was a Bandmaster. Both Charlotte[known always as Lot or Lottie] and Jane went to work as nurses in the asylum at Chartham in Kent. Charlotte married Percy Lawless of Canterbury and they had 2 children Margaret Victoria [my mother] and Percy John Basil. Her husband Percy was killed in action at Jutland whilst serving on HMS Cheshire.From this period until her death in 1970 she lived in Woolwich. London. SE18 I know she had several brothers and her husband's family came from Canterbury. Where are you all ? Ivor John Bailey [her grandson]
