Residence:
frm 1939 to 1943 (age 0-4)
Brook Lodge, Sampford Spiney, Near Tavistock, Devon4
After her birth she lived with her parents at Brook Lodge, Sampford Spiney. After her father's death in June 1942 she and her mother continued to live at Brook Lodge because her mother has promised her father that they would not move into Plymouth because of the blitz. Her mother found a job in Boots Library in Tavistock and each (working) day they would travel into Tavistock by bus and Pat would go to nursery school whilst her mother was working.
She disliked her nursery school because every afternoon she had to have a nap lying flat on a camp bed without a pillow, and they were not allowed to play with any of the soft toys which had been donated by the American Forces stationed nearby and were displayed on shelves round the room.
The journey into Tavistock became too much for her mother who suffered from ulcerated legs and in 1943 her mother's father (Harry Luscombe) insisted that they move back to Devonport so that the family could be together and either survive or die together.

On moving with her mother to Durnford Street, where her grandfather was the Sub-Postmaster, her mother was given a flat on the top floor. Her mother worked in the Post Office and, when she was old enough, Pat did as well. After her grandfather's death in November 1946 her grandmother took over the Post Office, and Pat and her mother continued to live there.
After her marriage to Don in December 1956 she continued to live with her mother whilst Don was at swe in H.M.S. Loch Farda until she could bear it no longer and at her friend, Joan Hodge's, suggestion obtained a job in Bourne & Hollinsworth in London.

Residence:

Boune & Hollingsworth Hostel, Gower Street, London4
In the Spring of 1957 Pat moved back to Dunford Street after Don was posted to a ship serving in the Gulf. However, increasing tension between her and her mother made life difficult. At the suggestion of her friend Joan Hodge she obtained a job at Bourne & Hollingsworth and lived in the firm's hostel until Don retuned to the U.K. and was posted to Lymstone.
Residence:
frm 1960 to 1962 (age 20-23)
The house belonged to Don's Grandmother, Emily Rosam. His mother, Doris Rosam, also lived there. Don and Pat were still living there when their first son, Andrew, was born in 1961.
Residence:
frm 1962 to Mar 1968 (age 22-28)
After Don and Pat moved to London in 1958 they applied to be put on the waiting list for a Council house or flat. Council properties were allocated on a points system and Don was given bonus points for having been in the armed forces. Eventually they were allocated a flat in a newly built tower block at New Addington. Pat was delighted to have 'a home of own' but Don didn't really care. As long as he had a place to live and a meal on the table when he came home it didn't matter to him where he lived.
At first it was fine. The flat had good views and Pat could see tree from the window of the living room but slowly the disadvantages of council flat living began to emerge. Washing was stolen from the drying area on the roof; the flat was on the fourth floor so the children couldn't play outside neither could she leave the a child outside in its pram to get some fresh air; sometimes the lift didn't work and she had to carry shopping up the stairs.

Good Morning Patsy and Jack
...
I came across a list of everyone who was at my Parents wedding. Besides my Grandparents and Parents, the following were present (where I can identify them I have referred to their positions in the photo):
Pat and Len Field (left of my dad) – my dad's sister and brother-in-law, Kevin and Carol Field (Kevin, my dad’s nephew, was best man and is standing to the right of the shorter bridesmaid, Trevor and Jan Field (Trevor is also my dad’s nephew), Penny Andrews and John (Laird?) (Penny is behind my dad, and I think John is to the left of her), Joan and Frank Squires (standing to the left of the taller bridesmaid), Patsy and Don, Dorrie and Harry Andrews (Dorrie is standing to the left of Patsy, Harry is behind and to the right of my granddad) Rita and Frank Hodge, Lyn and Susan Hodge (bridesmaids), Marjorie and Len Rickard, Jean and Alan Tricker (Alan was Groomsman), Lucy and Ron Crisp, Jeannetta and Bill M’Kintosh
I am hopeful that I will find photographs relating to my grandparents wedding, and maybe a birth certificate or two, at Leonies’s parents house, as a lot of my stuff is stored there. If I find anything I will send it on.
Regards
Bob
