Subject: Re: Guys Marsh/Portland Borstal - anyone been there? Author: Tamare Lindup (Hello :)) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:53:13 05/09/11 Mon In reply to: Chris from Oxford 's message, "Re: Guys Marsh/Portland Borstal - anyone been there?" on 10:11:06 12/04/03 Thu Hello :) I was wondering if you knew an Elizabeth Harford? Back in 1970? I'm looking for my grandfather on behalf of my dad who is now 40. All I know of the Christopher Thompson I'm looking for is that he lived in Holloway Road N7 9SB, he came down to Cornwall to be a steel erector and he went to Borstal at some point. This is why I'm contacting you as your name is Chris and you've written a message about borstal from the 1970s. (My dad isn't looking for anything he just wants to know his father's family etc :) ) Sorry if this isn't you and if it is please respond!
