Memories of Thurlow
From Julian Jones:
A few weeks ago I published my 3rd great grandmother's memoir on Smashwords.
Here is the link:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/503092
40% is free. In that 40% Madelina Fobres Mitchell (nee Smith) writes about being born at Thurlow Hall and part of her family's life there.
I would be thrilled to know Madelina's story reached her home town.
