  1. Thank you so much, DavidW, for finding that. It`s good to know Fred was a lovely man. I have been in touch with the Lenton Local History Society and they have found out quite a lot for me. Jean and Eric had a greengrocer`s shop in Willoughby Street, next door to where Fred was living - I think it was his old hardware shop, which they appear to have taken over when Fred retired. He lived there until a year before he died. They had previously printed an article on Eric and Jean`s shop in Willoughby Street, which was interesting. Wish I had some photos of Fred and Nellie, or some more infor
  2. Hi everyone I joined to find out more info about my gt grandmother, Nellie, who married Fred Gibson, also known as Fred Gibson Dale. They had a hardware shop in Willoughby Street, Lenton from the 1930s to 1966, when Fred retired. Nellie died in 1943. I think Eric and Jean Matthews took over the shop and remained friends with Fred. Jean was the informant on Fred`s death certificate, and scattered his ashes in the garden of remembrance at the Southern Cemetery. Lenton Local History Society have been amazing at providing more details about them. I just wondered if anyone remembered them an
  3. No, it certainly isn`t. After 30 years trying to find my great grandmother, and her second husband, only knowing she moved to Nottingham, and didn`t know his name, I can testify to that. I went down all the usual routes, searching electoral registers, deaths for her first husband, divorce, remarriages, and even Nottingham deaths. Spent ages discounting possible candidates. A lot of lateral thinking is required. I found her, not by the usual route, but by researching people staying at the same address. Plus they changed their names when they moved. I was only able to confirm it was her v
  4. That`s a shame. I just found a missing ancestor in the 1939 register, after gleaning information from the 1921 census, but both died many years ago.
  5. Hi Everyone. I`ve just had a breakthrough in researching my family tree, and found my great grandmother, Nellie, living with Fred Gibson (also known as Fred Gibson Dale) at 14 Willoughby Street, Lenton. Fred had a hardware shop at 16 Willoughby Street. Nellie died in 1943 and is buried in Southern Cemetery. Fred died in 1966 and was living at 6 Osmaston Street, New Lenton. The informant on his death certificate was Jean Denham, of 462 Aspley Lane, Aspley. Jean`s maiden name was Matthews and she married Eric Arthur Denham. They died in 2002 and 2008. I don`t know whether she was related
