John Munro who lived at Cambridgeshire Farm
Information on John Munro who lived at Cambridgeshire Farm from his son Michael.
My dad John Munro was born late in 1933 to Joseph and Kate Munro in Brighton.
His father Joseph died in 1936 and his mother Kate died in late 1939.
He then moved to Balsdean to live with an Aunt and Uncle, Jack and May Nicholls.
When the army used Balsdean for training it became too dangerous to continue to live there.
They then moved to Cambridgeshire Farm in 1942, with Uncle Jack working for Harold West.
John’s Auntie May died in 1951, which left John living with Uncle Jack until he moved away in 1955.
John is now 83 and for the past year he has been living in Northern Ireland.
