mazda5 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think I might be older than you MAZDA5 but three names jump out at me, you mention Handwell, did you mean Hanwell and if so would this have been a relative of Peter, Doug or Roy Hanwell. The Mcallan, again might this person have been related to Bernard Mcallan, who possibly moved to Canada. Lastly the Jean Higginbottom, did she have a connection to Derek Higginbottom. All these people that I have mentioned all lived on the lower portion of Botham St within a stones throw from one another many years ago. hi fleet hanwells and mcallens lived in the middle of botham st and higginbottoms lived on the bottom of botham st next yard up from dors i lived in the middle opposite the hutchinsons aslo there was a malcolm marsh and his sister carol she married les beal yes he was gods gift to women we used to see him regular in the sheffield arms when i used to go in with david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
