Angela
(born in Leamington Spa, England)
daughter of
|
| Charles
Edward Leslie Thomas (Papa - born in Plymouth, England). |
Dorothy
Espeland Thomas (Ba - born in Khartoum, Africa).
|
| The
story goes that Dorothy and her friend Lucy were sitting in a
park one day and who should amble by but Leslie, taking his dog
for a walk. The dog jumped all over the girls, and Leslie stopped
to chat. Dorothy was positive that Leslie liked her friend Lucy,
and was very surprised when Leslie called on her for a date. The
rest, as they say, is history. |
| Leslie's
parents were Lilian Wilhemina Basden and
Charles William Thomas (both born
in Newport, England) |
Dorothy's
parents were Laura Isabel Thompson
(of Scottish descent) and Olé Andreas
(Andrew) Espeland (Norway). |
