This is Angela Bell in 1962
- Angela is the daughter of Alf Bell and sister of Christine, I believe she had another older sister too
(possibly called Brenda).
- She was born in 1955 and spent her early life in Southend where her father managed a department store.
- She went to a convent school in Surrey.
- After her mother died her father courted my mother; Audrey Hingley, later Audrey Hotchkiss,
who was herself widowed. Before they could be married Alf died and Angela then aged about seven years old
and Christine, who was a teenager, came to live with my mother and I in Swanley, Kent.
- As the Bell's were Roman Catholic it wasn't considered suitable for the girls to be brought up by a
single C of E mother so they left us for boarding school and, I believe, the elder sister's for the holidays.
- After finishing her schooling, Angela went to Switzerland where she worked in the hotel industry.
There she met her husband-to-be whose name was Vincent (I'm not sure if this was his christian or surname).
- Not long before she married she visited my mother and I in Swanley, this would have been some time
between 1973 and 1980; this was the last time I saw her but I believe she corresponded with my mother after this.
- If anyone knows anything of her please leave a comment or direct her to this web site.
