I am trying to find out about my dad's family who used to live at 1, Woburn Street Brighton. His mother's name was Frances Charlotte Morley, her son's name was John Henry Morley. I don't know his father's name; they lived there in early 1909. if any one has any information on the above i would like to hear from you.

Does anyone have a photograph of Woburn Place before it was demolished? My family were living there in 1841, as shown on the Census for that year.
Many thanks.

We, as a family are trying to create a family tree. We are looking for our Uncle, Joselyn (different spellings) Thomas. He was a newspaper reporter and we have an article that he wrote to my father about his experiences in Dunkirk. He took part in the action as a member of The Royal Army Medical Corp. Looking for any information, age, mother's name, fathers name etc. His mother, our grandmother also lived in the same apartment building. We also know that he was a pianist. We do hope to hear from you and thank you.

My grandmother, Mary Sullivan, was born in Woburn Place in 1895. Her parents were William and Jane Sullivan. Wiliam was a fish hawker and Jane was a washerwoman. I am researching my family tree, and I would like more information about the Sullivans. My dad, George Sullivan born in 1918, was Mary's son by her first partner. I would be interested in seeing photos of Woburn Place or Park Place.
