Hi I am using my husbands thread but I just want to say I lived at 466 Arbouthorne Road from 1954 to 1961 I got married in 1960 but we lived with my mum and dad for a year. I used to play with Ernest Twigg and lived next door to Joan Taylor my mum and dad was Harold and Flo Allwood and my name is Carol. I went to Arbnourthorne Central just for 1 year and then to Hurlfield Girls School until I was 15 in 1957

Hi Carol

I lived at 427 Arbourthorne Rd just across the road from Joan Taylor, next door to Mrs Gilbert, she had a grown up daughter called Annie -- I was bridesmaid for her when she married Frank. Next door to Mrs G was Tommy Greensmith and I think Flo Midwood lived next to them.

 

I left there around 1949 when we exchanged houses with a man who swept chimneys and wife.

Hello Hazel I remember the Gilberts. The otherside us lived an old maid Miss Smith. Over the back from us lived The Wilds Josie was a bit younger than me. It was a shame about Ernest Twigg. I did here about when it happened. I have lived in Australia now since 1971 with my husband and two boys who are now married and we have 5 grandchildren. We have been back 9 times for a visit to see the family. Hope to hear from you again love Carol

Flo Midwood is my nanan. she had a daughter called Noreen after Ernest, Noreen is my mum. i never met my nanan Flo, i was born when she just died.

my grandad Ernest was quiet and a lovely man. i never met my uncle Ernest, he died when he was 35.

 

Can you ask your Mum if Ernest (your uncle) worked as a motor bike mechanic at Wilf Green's Motorcycle shop in 1958 / 1959. I worked with a lad of that name then and he lived somewhere on the Arbourthorne
