I don't eat meat and have never understood why people like me would want to eat something that looks like meat - I just don't see the appeal

I'm not related, but if the problem is not being able to find her birth or entries in the census 1851 onwards, do you have the marriage cert to Oscar, which should give her father's name, unless illegitimate

Wasn't he involved in the school library as well?

Yes, Alan, he was a nice man and a good teacher. I always thought of him as quite ancient, but when I was say 14, he was only late 30's!

There's a Death Notice in the local paper today for Cyril Jacob "former teacher of English at Bilborough College" He died on 28/1/21, aged 88

SG. I'm so sad to hear your news. It was obvious that you loved him very much and he loved you

The only one I haven't heard of is gorra bag on. My Mum and Dad often said most of the others on the list

Thank you, BK

Thanks BK. I was only a child in the 60's, so don't remember the number, but have just looked it up and it was number 127. I know one of her neighbours was the Stanfield family

Beekay Hope I haven't asked you this before, but my Aunt, Violet Charles, lived on Kennington Road in the 60's and possibly earlier, but can't remember what number. She had 2 sons and one of them might have been around your age - Raymond Charles. I wonder if you remember them?

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, Gem. Take care

Lynn H I was in the year above you at Bilborough Grammar and went to Moor Farm quite often - the only place I was kicked out from for being underage!

CT Eleanor's father died in 1940, when he was living at 14 Vivian Avenue. The 1939 Register definitely says Pelham Road, but the next entry but one in the Register after Hamilton House is 10 Vivian Avenue, followed by 8, 6, 4, so could they have actually lived in Vivian Avenue?

I don't know about fun, but certainly more interesting than her previous occupation!

Eleanor D Fish, born 15/10/17, lived at Hamilton House, Pelham Rd, Nottm, with her parents George F and Dorothy. Her occupation in 1939 was Architectural Assistant

Happy Birthday Mary

She married a Roberts but they were divorced, so she was a Mrs Roberts for a while

Helena was divorced in 1935 and was living at "Memoires", Bunny at the time (no mention of her mother in the name of the house)

Her mother appears to have died in 1928!

Sorry to hear this, Ben - get well soon

Oztalgian, that's the team I remember from when I first went to a Forest game in 1967/68, aged 11-12 - only know about Wally Ardron from my Mum and Dad

Lovely to see where you live, Nonna and I must say you're a wizard with the piping bag! The houses are beautiful

All of these things were cheap - chitterlings, cow heel, collared head, tripe - all of which my Mum and Dad used to eat, but I could never face any of them

One suggestion for a name - Wor Jackie!

I'm so sorry, Carni, to hear this. Take care, both of you and hope you'll be feeling better soon
