Moermond album 1/6 Fairclough family page 19

            Photo album I bought online.
The only things I know about the family who once owned the album was what I could find written in the album and on the back of some of the photos.

It is the romantic story of Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) corporal Charles Fairclough from the Woodlands in Conway and Johanna (Jo)  Maalje “Mar” Moermond, born june 1st 1922.
They met during the liberation celebrations in Rotterdam in 1945 and got engaged.
They were about to get married when Charles was stationed in Germany and it took him till January 1947 to get back to her and they got married that same month in Rotterdam.
It looks like a baby was born before they married, there are two names mentioned; Coby Moermond and Joannie Fairclough.
I think that perhaps the girl was named Coby Moermond in the time her parents had not yet married and they changed her name when she was baptized in the UK.
Or maybe there were two children?

I haven't been able to find out much about what happened to this family next and if anyone is still alive.
If you have any information or suggestions, let me know.

If this album belongs to you or one of your family members, get in touch.
