Tuesday 13th March 2012:
Bea Tilbrook, of Quidhampton, is seeking information about the late Clarrie Price, who died in Salisbury, in 1996, aged 105.
Bea says: “Clarrie spent most of her life in this area, often living in ‘digs’ with her friends, she lived later at the Holmwood Care Home, and finally at Harnham Croft. Clarrie wrote an account of her early life at Quidhampton but her Canadian great-niece Barb Bentham (the Price family historian) knows almost nothing about her adult life, so any information anyone can tell us will be valuable.”
“We’d also like to discover more about Clarrie’s two nephews, Victor Price (1905-1981) and Ronald Price (1908-1975), sons of Henry Price (Harry Price). They lived in Salisbury all their lives; Ronald at 9 Nadder Terrace, where he was born. Both men married but we do not know whether they had any children. Victor, who lived in Clifton Road when he died, is described as a shop porter on his death certificate; and Ronald as a gardener and labourer.”
Bea Tilbrook says she would love to hear from anyone who has any memories of these last local members of a remarkable family. She may be contacted, by phone: 01722 742456, or by email: bjtis@hotmail.co.uk
