    Thought I should help to clarify...

    Jackie Trent was divorced from Tony Hatch and is now married to Colin Gregory.

    Jocelyn's was run by Walter Gregory, father of Colin and Keith Gregory. Both sons worked there; neither took over the running of Jocelyn's, the premises of which was sold to Granby's.

    Colin Gregory was in the police, and was a Motorcycle Cop (although other bits as well) before he started the bike shop at Daybrook. This expanded around the corner of Mansfield Road and Ribblesdale Road before moving up to the old Wards Garage premises on Mansfield Road. I think that this was the same people (Ward's) as the garage on Hucknall Road although I wouldn't put money on my word here.

    Colin sold the business to Keith, semi-retired for a bit and Keith and his business partner took over the business as Gregory Motorcycles (upstairs at the premises at Mansfield Road, before it moved to Carlton). Sadly, Keith died of a heart attack some years ago and I'm not sure that there is a Gregory Motorcycles anymore.

    Hope that helps :)
