Can anybody help Christine Downing?
We bought a Springer Spaniel Puppy in 1995 from one of your residents and l am sure the address was 1 Church Road.
The reason for this, l wanted to contact them to tell them that unfortunately we have had to say goodbye to him at 14 through illness, having had him from 6 weeks old.
Have looked on the pedigree papers but can not read the surname so l am unable to look in telephone books.
Of course maybe they have moved out of the area but did think it would be worth a try to see if anyone has any information on the breeders in the village.
Have to say loosing the dog has left us devasted as he was such a gentle,loyal and calm springer.
Thank you in anticipation of any help you are able to give.
Regards Christine Downing
Marc Bellfield would like to get in touch with some old friends
In the summer of 1989 I moved to North Baddesely and I attended the local junior school for only half a term. However in my time there I met a lot of people who I am now eager to try and contact. I can recall a boy called James Gilbert. I lived at the Baddesley Arms pub which was opposite a Circle K shop if I remember rightly. I would appreciate any help that could be given as this is quite important to me as I settled into the area well but then I got taken away again without warning so I could not say bye to all my new friends. Please help, email me: marcbfd@hotmail.com
