My Name is PETER WATTS and I live in Queensland Australia. I would love to contact any of my old school friends with whom I was with at North Benfleet Primary school during 1936 to 1944. I then lived at No 4 Pound Lane North Benfleet. I am now aged 78 which means most of my old schoolmates would be in the same age group.

Reynolds Family

1:46pm Monday 17th November 2008

I am searching for members of the Reynolds family who lived in Hadleigh. I would like to contact relatives of Thomas Reynolds, born in 1886 in Epping, the brother of Harry James Reynolds, born in 1872 (my grandfather). Thomas Reynolds had the large scrap yard in the High Street during the years after the Second World War that backed on to the Crown Hotel public house.

Mitchell Family

1:43pm Monday 17th November 2008

I have moved back to this part of the world after many years. My paternal grandmother lived in Vange with my Aunt Nell when it was still open country and the trains were still pulled by steam locomotives. They have long passed away along with all the family I knew as a child in the late 40s- 50s I was the baby of the Mitchell family at that time and with the sad and early death of my brother Jeff in 1999 I appear to be the last man standing of that generation as my cousins were either in the Second World War or Korea, and there was a huge age gap. My grandmother died in 1951 and my last memory of a visit to Vange was around 1952. All contact was lost around 1956/7 when I attended a wedding in East Ham with my brother and widowed mother. Last year I drove to Pitsea for the first time in over 50 years and digging deep into my memory I found the road and the house. It has changed of course, but the place is still there. We used to arrive by train at Pitsea after what seemed an age and then board a Campbell’s Coach. The ones where the driver had a separate cab. I still remember the dim orange lights in the bus and the horsehair sticking into my legs. Short trousers for boys in those days. I am interested to find any members of my family who may still live in the Basildon area. It is very possible that we would never have met, but we would share the same connection as it were. I became the ‘keeper’ of the family photos and would be nice to speak and share them with my kinfolk. Jim Mitchell 24 Langthorne Crescent Grays, RM17 5XA 01375 394082

Looking for Mark

1:51pm Monday 17th November 2008

I am desperately trying to find Mark. We lost touch 25 years ago, which was my fault. Mark worked with my Parents John and Doreen in their Builders Merchants in his Teens (Pound Lane, Bowers Gifford, Pitsea), living with them and my Sister and I after his Parents moved to North Devon (Chelsea Avenue, Southend). I would love to catch up and also have some urgent information regarding my Parents. Mark would be in his late 40s early 50s. He has a Brother who lived on Canvey Island, who was a car mechanic. Mark worked at the Ford Dagenham car factory (I think). If Mark, his Brother or anyone that knows his wherabouts sees this, please get in touch with me.
