After doing some alterations I have come across a letter in the original envelope dated 1943.

The letter is addressed to an Eileen Sheen, address will be disclosed upon more info req.

This is a war love letter, some of it in Spanish, French and English.

I would like to pass this onto someone who is researching their tree as it is an invaluable piece which could never be replaced.

Please email me if you think this letter belongs to your tree.

Thanks
Amanda

just checked there are 16 Eileen Sheens in peoples trees.

T.O.R. ;o))

Well I am at a bit of a standstill now. The lady who lived here was married, she was Eileen Mary Fairlamb - I have checked marriages etc and her maiden name was Bishop.

I have checked the births and she was born Bishop so she hasnt married previous.

The area ofthe letters is Bristol and London. The partner was an Argentinian soldier who was called back to his country to fight in the War?

maybe Mrs fairlamb was looking after the letter for a friend who may of lived in the same street.

tee hee hee I never thought of that maybe his name was Barry??

I wonder if she was married and used the name Sheen as an alias?

possibly she could have, I will never know unless someone comes forward.

Its not hurting though I have had the letter 5 years now, I will just keep a hold of it until someone comes forward

Was the letter addressed to Miss or Mrs?

The letter was only addressed to Eileen Sheen no Miss, Ms or Mrs.

I will probably go with the theory of an Alias and try to track down some of Eileen Fairlamb's relatives.

Thanks everyone for your help

What a mystery Amanda, I hope your letter finds its owner.....x

nudge

Amanda, no developments then?

Could Eileen Fairlamb have had a married daughter or niece called Eileen?

hello, ive just joined reunited, is there still a chance you have the letter? my family is fairlamb and ive been researching my family tree for 4 years now and have never come across such a personal item before. it would be amazing to see. please get in touch

thankyou

I started reading this and thought it sounded familiar lol, then realised how old it is, but cannot fathom how Jacqueline found this thread!

Hope there is a connection for you there somehow

Hi Jacqueline,

It may be worth sending a PM to Amanda as this is an oldish thread.

Deb

just to let you know i found this thread by typing in the name fairlamb as its my family name, as its a fairly uncommon name and i usually only get a few hits, and sometimes it gives me gems.

I see Jacqueline, maybe I will try my name but I will probably only get my own threads lol

Lizx

please get back in touch

has anyone tried sending a Pm to Amanda?

she COULD still be a member, anyway she also ought to be able to get a pm..
( in case no one else has, I have pm'd her.)
