Hi everyone, sorry for not posting for ages, I've been super busy and a lot has happened. I thought I'd do a new NTNB as I've lost track of where I'm at with the one I made before, and I'll probably do this one a bit more simply following one family from the 1910s onwards. Let's begin!
DH [b. 1911]:
DW [b. 1913]:
DS [b. 1934]:
DD1 [b. 1936]:
DD2 [b. 1939]:
The year is currently 1940. DH comes from a French family who emigrated to England following World War I, where his family settled in Cambridge. There, he met DW, who comes from a Scottish family who moved to Cambridge during the war to help in the war efforts. DH and DW married in 1931, and DH found work at a local factory whilst DW looked after their home. They soon grew their family with one son and two daughters, the youngest of whom was born just a few months before the beginning of World War II. DH enlisted with the British Royal Air Force, whilst DW made the difficult decision to send DS, DD1 and DD2 to Wales for evacuation after Cambridge faced the threat of bombing. DH and DW regularly exchange letters with each other, as well as with DS, DD1 and DD2.
