is your mothers name joyce? No it was Margaret

We did yeah, back to Sunderland, It'll have been mid to late 70's, we did live with someone before coming back , but my memories are faint with me being so young at the time. I just remember the house was in a long terraced street, outside toilet at the end of the back garden, and a railwayline near by. But I guess that describes most style of houses at the time. There were 3 kids, me and my brother,very blonde hair at the time, and my older sister, as well as my mother. Thanks

Thanks, the railway line again is a faint memory, It may have been at a later date when I remember we moved into a house with another woman, I'll see if I can get any info on the ones mentioned. Thanks for your help Steve

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can help me, In the 70's my mother left our family home in the north east with me, my brother and sister to escape my father in the 70's,we ended up staying for a year or 2 in Sheffield, At the time I vaigly remember it was refered to as a 'battered wives home. Only recently I've been wondering where it was, is it still there, etc, but at the time I was only about 7, so only have a few memories of hostel like large rooms with several beds in, and a railway line near by which some of the kids used to play on. If it helps jog anyones memory of such a place 1 thing I do remember of while we were staying is there was some kind of documentary or tv program filmed there, and i can remember kids dancing to ' ring o ring o roses' nursery ryme. Thanks
