60. Albert Edward Durbridge (1884-1967).
He was a carpenter and joiner by trade and is remembered as being a colourful

From about 1924 to 1927, the family had the Normandy village grocery, bakery
and newsagency (now the Motorcycle shop) which was called The Crib then
and was run by him and his wife Rosa Marie.
It was a huge family and he had 19 children; 7 by Rosa and 12 by his second
wife Helen. There was at least one child in every class in the village
school.
Subsequently they moved to Westwood Lane where he had bought a plot of
land and built a new home called "The Rest" opposite the garage
near the bottom of the hill. When the Normandy and Wanborough District
Social Club at the top of the hill in Westwood Lane closed some time before
