I recall that my parents attended the 21st birthday party of Mary Dobney! Circa 1955. I recall that the party was held at the hotel in Woodhall Spa.
Mary’s parents were friends of my parents, Ina & John Russell. My father was manager of Elsoms Seeds in Elsom House, Broad Street, Spalding
I also remember the name Richard Dobney, born in the same year as me, but I do not recall the face! Sorry.
Thanks for comments
hi thanks for memory. Please keep the coming. Regards Geoff
I have just found your comment during my Web trawling on a lazy Sunday am and thought I would just say I am Mary dobneys daughter , we unfortunately lost my mum in April 2023 which was the year you posted this comment. But yes her 21st was held at the Golf Hotel in Woodhall Spa as was mine some years later. My Dad proposed to Mum at her 21st party pictures of which I was looking at recent. My grandfather did alot of businesses with Elsoms seeds I remember. Great to see the picture of the delivery van , my earliest memory is delivering bread with my grandfather on horse and trap.
Thanks so much your memories. Please tell us more. Regards Geoff
