DOROTHY RICHARDSON nee Dibden
Was not in Chepstow during the war. She lived in Reigate with her husband.
Her mother, Mrs Dibden, lived at Marlborough Villa, Welsh Street, and took in lodgers who handed their ration books to Mrs Dibden, who would buy their food jointly, as this was more economical and gave more choice. They also knew farmers who sold them butter and eggs.
Mrs Dibden had various lodgers, including some Jews. One educated Jewish lady worked at Sedbury Laundry, as it was the only job she could find. The family were refugees from the Nazis and were waiting to join relatives in the U.S.A.
