Mrs Evelyn Farley emails from Basingstoke: “I am trying to trace the family of my great uncle Gilson Smith.
“Gilson was born in Thaxted in 1885 and his son, also Gilson, had a newsagents at 144 Lewes Road, Brighton, sometime in the 1950s.
“Gilson senior was the brother of my grandmother, Nettie Ellen Rockliffe, and my mother was Ella Marlow.
“If there are any family still in the Brighton area I would be very pleased to hear from them.”
