Russell Beach

If Cycleracer knows the reason uncle Bert committed suicide I would love to know. Rumour has it that he was homosexual in an age when it was frowned upon and couldn't stand the heat. Annbody know if this is true ?

Absolutely wonderful 😄 Ive never been able to find what I’m looking for on Ancestry. Your help has been invaluable in filling in some blanks in my family history. Priory Road, where I remember my grandma living is off Sharrow Lane. Walter William died before I was born. If you come across anything else my email address is russellbeach5@gmail.com or share it here. Many thanks, Russ.

Thanks Hillsboro, a bit more info for the book. My grandpa was Walter William, the founder of Beach Signs. Grandma was Millicent and they lived at 12 Priory Road, Eccleshall. They had two sons, Frank and Walter Bertram ( my dad ). I was pretty sure of one daughter, Maude, but didn’t know about the other two. Any other info gladly received. Russ. I never knew how Uncle Bert died my dad, who would have known, died before I had a chance to ask him. There are some rumours but if anyone knows the truth, pleas, please share it with me. I think my grandad, Uncle Bert and another ( possibly a girl) were three siblings. Anyone know if this is a fact . Thanks

My name is Russell Beach and Bert Beach was my great uncle ( my granddads brother) I remember visiting Uncle Bert with my dad, another Bert Beach, sometime between 1945 and 1952 after which we left Sheffield and moved to Lincolnshire. Uncle Bert was a super guy, friendly and generous. He showed me how to mend a number of problems with bikes that I have never forgotten. He gave me an articulated hand that was operated by a Bowden cable and was supposed to be fixed to the offside of a car to give hand signals without opening the window. I remember the coins nailed to the counter, my dad would try to identify the countries of origin for me. Helped with my geography. Hope fully someone will read this and we can swap stories.
