The entry for the 1950s would be Mr Harry and Mrs Florrie Gifford (not Clifford). These were my grandparents. My dad Arthur was born at the Hermon in 1948. The Wharton’s were Florrie’s parents, my great grandparents, John and Flora.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Sharon. You don't happen to know when Harry took over and how long they stayed? Amendments made accordingly.
