• Notes

  Born 1-02-1940 at South Croydon, Surrey.UK Jill grew up with her parents and her younger siblings, Malcolm, Liz, and Richard at the family home in South Croydon. Jill attended Croydon High School for Girls in Croydon, and it was here that she joined the Brownies. She went on to become a Girl Guide at the church in South Croydon that the family attended, and later she became a Sea Ranger where she learnt to row and sail on the River Thames at Hampton Wick. Jill left school in 1956 and joined Lloyds Bank (where her parents had worked and met). On her 18th birthday Jill met her future husband, Peter, at a dance. Like her, Peter was a keen cyclist, they bought a tandem and together enjoyed many happy outings, and cycling every day to their offices in London, a distance of some 15 miles each way. Jill and Peter married on 23rd September 1961; sadly her father had died the previous year and she was given away by her brother Malcolm. Jill left Lloyds Bank in 1964 when their first son Stuart was born. Having a baby son, however, did not deter them from a day?s outing on their tandem ? little Stuart had his own sidecar! He was followed by Ian in 966 and Andrew in 1968, when the tandem gave way to a motor car. Jill?s husband built a sailing dinghy in 1970, which was taken on many camping holidays, plus canoes on top of the car, and enjoyed by all the family. In 1980 Jill and Peter bought a small sailing cruiser which was the beginning of many happy sailing holidays. This was updated in 1985 by a slightly bigger cruiser, which they adventurously sailed across the English Channel to France and to the Channel Islands. Jill went back to work in 1985, doing Payroll and Bookkeeping for an Accountant. She retired in 2000 when she and her husband decided to buy an even larger sailing boat on which to enjoy more leisure time in their retirement. Regrettably this was cut short when her husband was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and he died in September 2001 on the night of their Ruby Wedding. Jill now has 5 grandchildren. She is a member of the Trefoil Guild, also of U3A, and has joined the Mothers? Union at her church. She enjoys going away on holidays with friends.
