Sheila Blankley

My maiden name was Hobbs and I was born in Stamford. My mother and father came from Sohum in Cambridgeshire and my father was a brilliant engineer. I was a child of elderly parents. I had a sister 18 yrs older than I was who married Ernest Warner RFCO LRAM, an accomplished musician. My father was friendly with a man named Fison and he wanted my father to go into partnership with him but my father decided to move to Stamford as prospects were very poor in Sohum at that time. He took a post as forman-fitter when Blackstones opened. Read more....

Paul Cope

My name is Paul Cope and I was originally born down in Bedfordshire but moved to Colsterworth when I was nine in 1991. I have lived up here ever since though I now live in South Witham with my wife. My parents still live in Colsterworth. I have got one brother and one sister. My sister is 27 (and is going to have a baby any day now!) and my younger brother is 11 and has just left the village school to move to King's School in Grantham. Read more....
