Hello Sue,
I am living in Hampshire, England UK.
Yes I already have what is on the google site for Peter Paxton. But thank
you for letting me know. I am not sure if Peter Paxton's Granddaughter has
though. But will let her known. Any Addresses you have would be great, Thank
you very much.
What a shame about the Golf Club Fire.
Take Care
Pamela

Pamela Hi,
Sue is much more friendly.
Have mailed a few sources which have given me some ideas.and waiting for
replies. Will follow up .There is quite a lot on the web if you just put
Peter Paxton into a Google search .Much of what I found you probably know
but I now have the the addresses and phone numbers for some golf Clubs .
Unfortunately the CONWAY golf cub lost all its records in a fire in 1935.
But have an address for the main Newspaper in Conway.
Are you in UK or hte other side of the world?
My brin is forgetting how to spell as it is late .
If you don't hera from me for a few days don't think I have given up but I
have to go away at the week end.
Cheers,
Sue in LLantrisant Wales Uk
