hello lynnielass

What was your great grans name?

My grandmother lived in the bottom house in Candow Street for many years. She died there in 1939.

Her name was Liza Dickinson.

 

Wain

 

Hello Wain, My great gran`s name was Blakeman! I know this sounds really silly but i never knew her first name! She was always referred to as `little nanan wi black stockings` !!!! as you can gather she was little and always wore black stockings. lol. She was blind too i seem to remember. My Aunts that lived down there were Kathleen, Great Aunt Rose ,Dolly, and the name trixie seems to ring a bell but i can`t be 100% on that. I`m sorry i don`t remember any other names

Hello Lynnielass

I do not remember your great gran but do remember your great aunt Rosie. I remember she had very dark hair and rosie cheeks, she was very nice and always cheerful.

 

I lived in that bottom yard for the first six years of my life until my father was killed in 1940 and then we moved to Hansworth.

Nobody had any money but that neighbourhood had a rich tapestry of life. I have always felt very blessed that my formative years were spent there.

Hello Wain, Yes I remember Great Aunt Rose as being very jolly. My Dad always spoke of her with great fondness.. If my memory serves me well ( which it probably won`t) My Great Gran was in the Salvation Army. I suppose you had the outside lavvies too!!! and that very designer toilet roll... you remember the one with the writing on lol Oh m goodness the youngsters today would not believe that.
