CHRIS CHRISTODOULOU is looking for: HIS NEICE (posted November 5, 07)

email: shop-northampto@hotmail.co.uk

After searching for many years for my half sister Helen Hern (nee CHRISTODOULOU) I found, sadly, that she died in Poole in 1970. My Poole family however tell me that she had a daughter, whose name no-one can tell me. She lived in Parkstone at the time. It is likely that Helen's daughter has her dad's surname as I cannot find any trace of her with either Helen's married or maiden name. Our Poole family names are Cherrett and Toms. Family friends by the name of Merrifield kindly put Helen up for a while in the early 1960s in Mansfield Road, Parkstone. Does anyone remember Helen's daughter? Maybe you went to school with her, or know her now. Helen's daughter would be about 40-45 years old now. I would love to make contact with my missing niece.
