The Kilbrides, The Ockwells

[Robert Bruce]

Anyone got any news on  the Kilbrides or the Ockwells?

I last was in touch with Michelle Ockwell a couple of years back. I last saw Vin and Peggy Kilbride many years ago at their shop at Eastbourne on the South Coast of England. Their eldest , John was in UK too. Michael was in Kimberley.

Any news?

Barbara Bailey is still well in Eastbourne and she is a close friend of my Mum but even closer friends of the Kilbrides.  When they were in Eastbourne, they were with Barbara and her husband, Bert.  Sadly Bert passed away a number of years ago, and, equally sadly, Peggy passed away last year. Vin is very unwell and in Cape Town.  John is in the UK (Barbara would know where he is - I could let you have Barbara's address if you would like).  He was in the RAF - don't know whether he still is.   I understood that Michael is a successful businessman in, I though, Jo'burg.
