Looking for Bruce, Ian or Derek Knowles 1950s

[David Saunby]

I am searching for the Knowles brothers Bruce, Ian or Derek who i think were my childhood friends from the mid 1950s, whom i believed lived on top of the shops in Western Road / St. Johns Road, St. Leonards. I lived with my mum in my grannys house at 16, Warrior Gardens, in 1954/55 just around the corner from where the boys lived. I was 4 and 5 years of age at the time, and i would have thought the boys would have been about the same age.

I moved back to Cornwall in 1956, but returned again in 1958 for 2 weeks holiday, where i once again met the boys, and have never heard or seen them since.

I am now 56 years old, living in Cornwall and when i think of St. Leonards, which i seem to have vivid memories of as a child, these boys always seem to come to light.

The name Knowles has come to me via a reply to my previous postings on Page 2 of this forum, so really this is just a shot in the dark.

I would be grateful for any information, or will it become one of my lifes unsolved mysteries.
