A woman from Silsden now living in the Isle of Wight hopes local people will help her root out her family history. Pauline Dyer is compiling a family tree, and is eager to trace any information regarding her family history.
Her grandparents, Edgar and Florence Wilkins, lived in Bolton Road, Silsden, until 1934, when they moved to Ilkley. They moved to the Isle of Wight in 1956. Edgar was one of the original bus drivers with the Keighley Premier bus company, and one of the first drivers on the Laycock route.
Pauline's dad Alan says: "My mother had photos and they never had any writing on the back, so we have never known who was who."
Anyone with information can contact Pauline Dyer on 01983 568737, or write to her at 51 Slade Road, Ryde, Isle of Wight, PO33 1EG.
