We are looking for Valerie Smith, I say we, as I am doing this for a friend of mine one Mary Hines who would love to get intouch with Valerie.

Both Valerie & Mary were at school together which was Chamberlayne Wood Rd School, Kensal Rise London. Mary started there in 1951 & was in the same class as Val, but sadly Mary had to finish in 1953 because of illness in the family. (There was another girl in the same class her name was Judy Gotobed. Perhaps someone knows her). At this stage Valerie was living at Wakeman Rd, Kensal Rise. The last Mary heard from Valerie was in approx. 1977 when Mary was living in Christchurch Dorset, Val was evidentally moving but not far from the present address. The last PC that Mary had for her was NW10 if this may mean anything to anyone. Also last known, Val had never married & was doing temp work, in perhaps some sort of Advertising. Valerie also had a younger brother however very little is known about him, as in we have no name however last know address was somewhere in Selsey Sussex. Maybe this information rings a bell with someone from back then who also knew Val, any information no matter how small or how irrelevant you think it may be would be greatly appreciated. Anything is better than nothing.
I'd like to thankyou for taking the time for reading this & as I said I'd dearly like to hear from anybody who thinks they may have any news of Valerie Smith. Or Judy Gotobed for perhaps she may know something.
As I said at the beginning of this I am doing this on behalf of Mary Hines who now lives at Turners Hill West Sussex. I on the other hand am in Australia, I have the full concent of Mary to do this any messages that may be sent to me shall be forwarded to her, thankyou. Or failing that you can contact her via FR. We do look forward to hearing from anyone out there, thankyou.

Best wishes
