Doe Family History: Discovering our Past Mavis R Parsons Nee Doe

The Doe Family History takes us on a journey exploring the family and working life of our ancestors, stepping back in time from the 1950's to the early 1800's. A personal reflection reveals to us the family life of a child growing up in London's East End following World War One. We share one man's experience of living and working in London during the Blitz of World War Two, through letters written to his wife. We follow bravery through two World Wars and emigration from England to start a new life in Australia. A story of resilience experienced during difficult times. These people make up the foundations of our family and to a certain extent the people we have become, as values and ideals have been passed down through the generations.
