Fretson Road, Manor 1940s

[DREWRAT@TOUC 10]

I'm looking into my family history. I know my family lived here during the 1940s at number 119. Name of Blades. Quite a big family. Looking for anybody who knew them. My aunt Doreen passed away here age 19. Again mid 40s. But don't know how or why.

Thank you Moira. We have a Moira also in the household born in the late 1940s. The 1st part of your post is a revelation so thank you especially for that. I'm also hoping to find someone who knew the family personally. We have a few mysteries we need clearing up.
