Hello everyone.
I’ve enjoyed looking at the pictures of your fabulous town. I’m hoping someone might remember the name Ivie Harrington? She lived with her husband Colonel Harrington, sons Henry and John in Kelston Lodge Pointon Road and then 19 Grimston Gardens. She died in 1971 aged 88. They would have been a wealthy possibly influential family. Certainly the Colonel was a member of the golf club in the 1930s.
With thanks
Felicity

After Grimston Gardens, Mrs. Harington (sic) moved into St. Olaves Hotel, at that time a private residential establishment, where my family were privileged to look after her. Her son John used to visit regularly. He continued the disinguished military tradition in the family. I see from Google that the family goes back to the 17th century, originating at Kelston, Somerset.

Your e-mail address is mandatory in order to post a message or a reply, but it will be hidden from the page. It will never be used for any purpose other than to possibly contact you if you get an answer to a query you posted.

Because we have had a problem with advertisements being placed here, we have switched the security to a Folkestone question and answer. If you want to make a legitimate post here, but don't know the answer to the question, please e-mail me at folkestonethenandnow@gmail.com explaining a little of why you are posting, and I will give you the answer. Hint: it is one word, all in lower case letters.

ATTENTION: It appears you can only post to this guestbook if you are on a desktop computer. I have tested it with both an Ipad and a desktop, and it will only post from the latter. I will look for a more inclusive guestbook, but in the meantime, please accept my apologies.
