Alice Webster We were sent these pictures and documents in 2008.   They relate to Milton Regis in 1933 and 1934 and centre on activities of St Paul's Church, youth groups and the Webster family, living at 72 Crown Road.

"All good wishes for Xmas & the coming year, from Jack & Nell"
We believe that John Webster, who came from Yorkshire, was known as Jack.
Nellie was born Nellie Hubbard in 1885 and died in 1980.  They had a son and two daughters, one of whom, Alice, these photographs seem to have belonged to. Alice died in 1983 we believe.
