I am looking to connect with the family of James Payne. I dont know how old he was in 1952, when I was born, but I know that he was married with two young daughters and lived in the area of Hastings, Sussex. He was a window cleaner, with a motorbike and sidecar. Had been in the army, 8th army, desert rats, was injured in the upper leg region by shrapnal, and I know the story. I also have picture of him. He had dark hair and brown eyes. He was also a member of the St Johns Ambulance. Really dont know how to start, but would appreciate any help. Thank you Linda
