Not sure because I wasnt in the scouts .. we used to hang around the hall with some girls

 

Marie and Judith????

I think so. I have spoken with him on Crookes within the past year and he was fine. For those not "in" on this character, he was the scoutmaster at Crookes Congs Scouts - was it 144 Group?

 

Yes, 144th....and Jenks is a LEGEND.

Hi,

My grandparents lived opposite the house that got on fire. My mother told me of a girl called Tora, but I can't remember her surname; would it be possible for you to tell me her maiden name? I have some photo's of my mum with some kids off Longfield Rd. I wonder if it's the same Tora?

my grandparents surname was morfitt

 

Hi,

Thank you, but I don't think it was Morfitt...I now think it may have been Hicks or Higgingbottom. On that side of the road was also Mr and Mrs Cook,

Mrs Wikeley. and Mr and Mrs Turner. My gramdma and grandad were called Farrand, and lived at No. 43.

Next door to them was Mr and Mrs Liversidge.

Regards ..

Cal.
