OUR recent appeal for information about the Lomax family, from Leyland, who befriended German PoW Hans Krix, during the Second World War (Citizen, March 23) has proved a great success.
Citizen reader Lillian Rich, from Chorley, believes she used to live next door to the family in Ryder Avenue, Leyland, and recalls that Hans was a regular visitor to their home.
She said: "He used to make things with wood. I still have a little wooden picture frame he made me.
"John Lomax died a couple of years ago and the last I heard of his wife Nancy, she was in a nursing home in Colwyn Bay, in Wales, after suffering a stroke.
"Their daughters were called Jaqueline and Terrill, who both married. One is a French teacher and lives in Cheshire."
