Two old records for the Forest of Dean Family History. My wife had thrown them away but I rescued them since I believe that even such small remnants of the past as these, all help to provide useful information about how things really were. I expect, as in our area in south east London pre-war, ordinary people would have contributed a penny a week to ensure the services of the District Nurse.

The reports were in a house we have been clearing of an old friend whose father Frank Idiens lived at Littledean pre-1939 and was a road surveyor to the County Council. I am the son-in-law of Dr Rouse (died Cinderford 1942) - I never knew him.
