Norman Cooper " 12/04/1940 Manchester

Fathers name William Cooper 1917-01/12/1940 Driver in Lancashire
fusilliers Mother Joyce or Ann Wakefield 21/04/1917-08/05/2007
She went back to Hammersmith London in 1940 and the 3 boys were put into Beecholme Childrens Home Banstead in March 1945
I met Norman,he was 15 he came to live with us as the Home could no longer keep him after aged 15 he stayed over a year then
left not seen or heard from him since.Please if any one knows of them or their families please get in touch,i would really love to know them
Many thanks Maureen

Hi Maureen, You might like to know that the Banstead History Research Group has just published (Dec 2010) Beechholme - A Children's Village which covers the history of the school. Just search for 'BHRG' to find their website.
