Hiya All Im looking for Drusilla Jacques she married Abraham (Jack) Milburn in 1948 in the Durham area.As far as i know they had 2 children together but parted not long after.I do not know of any reason why they split,maybe as Jack was away with the army alot.Jack is my grandad who unfortunatley died in 96 i would love to piece his life together.With there being so many Milburns and Jacques from the north east im finding it very difficult.My grandad was born 5th july 1919 so maybe Drusilla was born somewhere around that time.Would be very grateful of any info Many Thanks Sarax
