Location BANBURY, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Introduction I was born in Poole, Dorset, but remember little of the occasion. I spent from the age of 1 to 9 in Juniper Green on the western edge of Edinburgh, during and shortly after the 2nd world war. It was there that most of my siblings were born. We emigrated to New Zealand when I was 9, and re-emigrated back to England 3 years later, arriving in Southampton on the 20th October 1954.
