Deborah Horsefield: I moved to Sweden 27 years ago.
Homesickness hits me now and again as I get older. I feel the need to get hold of my relatives who live in England. I haven't got the address but I do know that my cousin lives, or has lived, in Portsmouth. Her single name was Deborah Horsefield. She was born in Redcar the daughter of Eric and Dorothy Horsefield. She was last heard of training to be a nurse in Portsmouth. I do know she got married, so her surname I do not know now. I plan to come to England later this year and would love to meet her again.
Mrs Marilyn Svensson (nee Bodkin), Roglevagen 380, 26294 Angelholm, Sweden
