Helene Marie BROOKS (née CAUDRON) [1919-2006]
My mother, Helene Marie Caudron Brooks, was the 2nd of the three daughters of Maurice (Kleber) and Marcelle Caudron. She was born in Ohain, Nord, France and as a young girl went with her family to live in Singapore for a few years before moving with them in her teens to Hong Kong in the early 1930s where her father set up a trading company operating between France and Hong Kong. He family retained their property in northern France and she travelled there often.
