My Dad mentioned friends from his childhood other than Aunt Kate one being ****e Horsfield (yes he always called him that) and the Birchenoughs, when we stayed at Aunt Kate’s house in Rural Lane he used to take us to the farm to get milk, a most wonderful taste when you think I was brought up in the middle of London. Dad and friends used to go rabbiting on the common and take them home to the Mums of the village.i loved visiting Wadsley as it was sooooooo different from built up London x ---------- Post added 11-01-2018 at 14:29 ---------- By the way this was for slip about James Talbott x

My Dad James Talbott was born in Wadsley in 1921 to George and Edith Talbott he has two sisters Edith and Florence and My Nans maiden name was Bradshaw she was also born in Wadsley. My Grandad was a shot firer / miner on Wadsley Common I think in the Ginster mine I believe he was Wadsley born as well. My Dads friends were Bill and Kate Parkin nee Firth and when they married they lived in Luke Lane when my uncle Bill died Aunt Kate still went for her daily drink in the top House. I know my Dad had an Aunt Rosila who has quite a few children and they had lots of off spring so I think I still have relations in the Wadsley area. We used to holiday in Aunt Kate’s house when she was on holiday.
