I attended Elmgrove from 1941 to 1949. My maiden name was Maureen Williams, and I was the 2nd oldest of a family of 7. We lived in 124 Hyndford Street.
My husband and I emmigrated to New Zealand in 1962 with our 2 little boys Roy and Alan. Our third son Brian was born in New Zealand.
We spent about 6 years dairy farming, 6 years missionary training, 10 years working at a Christian camp, and are now retired and living in Rotorua New Zealand. We are blessed with 3 lovely daughter-in-laws and 8 grandchildren. If anyone wants to contact us, please emailpeden@maxnet.co.nz and messages will be forwarded to us. Regards,
Maureen Peden (peden@maxnet.co.nz)
