AN East Sussex woman is hoping Journal readers might be able to help trace her long-lost cousins.

Nona Hawkins-Smith lost touch with family members 30 years ago and hopes to meet up with them in August when she visits Leigh.

There were three girls; Christine, Janet and Ruth and a boy, James, all with the surname Dobso, (Mrs Hawkins-Smith's mother's maiden name.

They lived in Leigh and Mrs Hawkins-Smith has happy memories of them playing at her gran's house in Wigan Lane, Standish. She last saw James at his wedding.

Anyone with any information should write to Mrs Nona Hawkins-Smith, 23 Sewell Avenue, Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex, TN40 2BH.
