and my main interest is Family History Research.
I was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire in 1921
and would be glad to contact anyone from that
area, especially the villages of Bomereheath
and Preston Gubbals. In 1927 I went to Hong Kong
and lived there for 10 years.
My schools were :
The Garrison School and The D. G. S. in Kowloon.
I returned to England in 1937 and lived in Salisbury,
Old Town Swindon and Stratton St. Margaret
and went to a commercial school run by Miss Marsh.
During the war I was in the A.T.S. first at Bulford Camp
and then as a Cipher Operator at the War Office,
Whitehall, London. Any contacts from the war years
would also be interesting.
My parents Reg Latham and May Lonnon both came
from Portsmouth naval families and if there
are any cousins still about, I should be
very happy to hear from them.

family genealogy has led me
to write several books about the
English family. There are more
details about these books and
how to purchase copies of them
on the next page.
