    Welcome to British-Genealogy Sharon

    Thank you for not naming your Mum and her friend as our AUP does not permit us to post details of living people so if any member can help it would be best to use the private message facility.

    Sharon where exactly were Bracknell Motors 1960-1962? Country? Town?

    Have you tried Electoral Rolls for your Mum's friend? Phone books online? Was she married in 1960-62 or has possibly married since?

    Hi Christina
    I am really in the dark with this one mum had a really good friend who worked with her but can't remember her last name which makes things really hard i have a photo of her but i know you can't put photos up. I will try and find some more information but as mum is getting on in life it would be wonderful to reunite these two people.
    Thanks Heaps

    Hi Sharon,

    It would probably be better to write to the editors of the local newspapers - you will be able to give your mum's name (maiden and/or married, as relevant) and perhaps a few more details, e.g 'At one time Gertrude was going out with one of the mechanics at the firm' . If your mum's friend has left the town then there may still be someone around who remembers her and can put you in touch.

    Googling seems to bring up two newspapers - the Bracknell Times and the Bracknell Standard (the latter should be the first hit you get if you google 'newspapers Bracknell'.
    If in doubt, google for Bracknell Town Council and ask them for the names of the local newspapers.
