- I have just found your site. I am tracing my half-brothers family who spent a lot of earlier years in Gosport. I am writing his history for his upcoming big 60!. His father was Robert Frank Smith who lived in Avenue Road, and Queens Road and when he was in service in the Royal Marines his good friend was Bill Goddin/Godden. I remember Bill and his wife Lily and feel sure that they too lived in one of the roads mentioned above. Bill & Lily if still alive would be in their 90's. Do any of their family still live in Gosport, as I would love to hear about Bill's time in the marines along with my step-father. Gloria Lumley (Added 6th August 2006)

- I am Gary Dean lived in Gosport from about 1949 until 1970. I went to Stone Lane School between 1950 and 1955 then the Central School until 1956 followed by two years in the sixth form at Gosport Grammar leaving in 1963. After leaving schooI, Iworked for a while for Bailey and Whites in Portsmouth and then for a couple of years at the Ordnance Survey in Southampton. I moved away from the area finally in 1970 to Surrey where I still live in Dorking. I stillcome to Gosport regularly to visit my mother who still lives in the flat over what used to be W A Withers and Sons, Butchers, in Stoke Road. I would be interested to hear from anyone that remembers me but particularly from anyone who can put me in touch with Malcolm Shaw, one of my best friends while at the Grammar School. He lived in Norman Road until we left school in 1963 and then, I believe, moved to Saxmundham in East Anglia where he took up an apprenticeship as a Toolmaker.
