Hi, I grew up in Putney and left there just 18 years ago. My sister continued to live there until 18 months ago, so I know Putney very well. Putney is by: Fulham, Barnes, Sheen, as well as all the places mentioned by the others. Richmond Park is the nicest park. We spent many a Sunday visiting the lovely surroundings. We also lived 2 roads up form the River. Putney will always have fond memories for me. Fi

Hi again, back from fam search. Far too many possibles at this point. Thanks for the info everyone. So annoying, I have a photo of this woman kept by my grandmother but I can't find her - grrrrr. More haste, less speed. Joy - ;-) (winking) Fi - if I get any addresses I will put up a thread asking for your local knowledge if that's ok. Regards Jen
