A WOMAN is trying to trace two Warrington women who married US servicemen shortly after the Second World War.

Jean Baillie, of Kennilworth, Warwickshire, wants to trace friends or relatives of Florence or Mary Matthews. The sisters were once residents of Orford Lane during the 1940s and may now be living in America.

Florence Matthews married US Airforce staff sergeant Frank Price in 1949, while Mary married Wilson Franke, another American.

If any GUARDIAN reader has information or recollections of the two sisters, contact Jean on 01926 856 102.
