Hello, my name is David Clarke. I lived in Barlborough from 1972 to 1978. We lived at 12 Westbridge Rd during that time frame.

From 1941 I lived in Clowne with my grandmother Mrs Turner. I have many happy memories of my time there and I am wondering if anyone has any memories of the family, apart from myself, Patricia, there was Eva, Jimmy, Christine & Bobby.
My mom's name was Helen Evelyn Rodes. She told me he family's name was deRodes and somethng about Horn Castle and Lincolnshire. Her father's name was Josephus deRodes, but when the family came to America (West Virginia and Virginia), then the deRodes name became just Rodes.
I am searching for links in family.
My name is Maxine Marie Elizabeth Turner
