Try asking Jean on the Records Office board for a look-up in the 2009 Electoral Roll. She may be able to help.

I am trying to make contact with my great aunts children who might have information about her family so I am able to fill in some missing pieces of my family jig saw.

Mary LEEwas born in November 1927 to Elsie Grace Lee ( nee Lovelock ) and frederick Lee ( parents Matthew and Caroline Annie ) who lived at The Crescent, Andover ,Hampshire.Mary was the youngest of 4 sisters - Agnes Alice b 1909 (always been referred to as Alice ), Marjorie Ivy b 1913 and Lily E b 1917 all as far as i know born in Pewsey,Wiltshire Mary's middle could be Gwendoline or Grace.

Mary was brought up with my mother who was only 2 years younger than her. My mother remembers living in St Marybourne near Andover when she was very young with Mary ,Elsie and Fred.

Marjorie worked at Andover Hospital as a cook and had 4 chldren out of wedlock.. Lily - possible marriage to a Thomas Evans in 1939 n Andover and nothing known about Alice ( my mum's mother ) but I am awaiting her birth certificate.

Mary probably lived in Andover for most of her life - she married Harold Broom around 1948 and had 4 children although this i'm not sure of - she certainly had 2 that i know - Linda and David. I have a photo of Mary with 2 of her children and Elsie taken around 1950/2. If anyone knows Andover they will remember a cafe called The Linger Longer Cafe where Mary was said to have worked.She also worked in a laundry or factory of some sort locally.

Mary's children would now be between 50 and 60 yrs old. I have details of possible birth dates but I dont know where to go from here - If someone has any information on any of their whereabouts I would be so grateful as they are the only people who could fill in my missing links.

Years ago I visited Andover library and found Frederick Lee as living at their house in The Crescent up to 1957 which is around the time of his death. I seem to remember that the name changed to Brown but now I know that Mary's married name was Broom perhaps I misread it. Does anyone know if you can get this local information on-line.

If there is anyone out there who lived in Andover between 1940 and 1990 or now who could help me please let me know.

Thank you

Rosie
