Ian Sewell - Cockney northerner

[ISewell07]

My dad was a wwII evacuee from Hackney in the the east end. He was sent to Batley in the west riding where he met my, now late, mum. They married in 1951 and I was born in 1954; my brother, Kevin, was born in 1956. Up to 19years ago I lived in Batley, then my, now ex-, wife and 2 children moved to Scarborough.

My dad's name is Thomas William Sewell and so was his dad.

Would love to know if there is anyone out there who might have known him or the family.

I do know snippets of information but would like to delve deeper.
