In the 1950s Harold and Priscilla were living at St Brelades, 322 Histon Road. They were Jewish and had come from Germany in the 1930s. They adopt the name Gee but this appears to be for business purposes as they continued to register for elections under their name Goldstein.


We spent the afternoon with Mrs Gee collecting some of her fantastic memories of time gone by.
