Trying to find Crichton

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Samantha Report 6 Aug 2007 16:36

I am trying to trace my godfather, Donald A Crichton. He was born in Lymington, Hampshire in 1935. He lived as a child with my great great grandmother, Jessie Cooper who fostered children. Another child she fostered was named marion but I have no other details. Donald was a steward for P & O in the 1960s. He then lodged with my grandparents William and Gladys Gates in Hythe, Hampshire until the early 1970s and before that at their prefab in Meadow Close, Hounsdown, Hampshire. He could be living in the Lymington area now, but I am not certain. Donald will remember my sister Susan Griffiths, my late parents Dorothy and Norman Griffiths and me, Samantha, born in 1967. I have many photos of him and our family and would dearly love to get in touch with him after all these years. Donald if you see this, please contact me. If someone knows Donald or his whereabouts please can they let me know? Any help greatly appreciated. Samantha Carr [nee Griffiths] Southampton, UK
