My grandmother had two children as evacuees in WW2, I think a brother and sister. Is there any website or other source that might give details? |

School admission books might show them at your grandmother's address. |

Good idea Gwyn. The local school was only yards away, and I know it! |

Maybe contacting other people who were in the same year at that school would help too, they may know more details. |

Playing around on google I found an article about a group of ex-refugees from Lowestoft, visiting Glossop as part of their annual reunion, and I suddenly remembered mum's pair were from Lowestoft! The article gave some names and I have written to one, also contacted the newspaper. |

The local heritage centre has given me the email address of the fella who organised the visit last year. Waiting to hear from him. They reckon he has a list of all the evacuees. |
