Wonder if we have any local footy experts who can advise where I may find the history of the Nottingham Combination Cup winners? Particularly the early 1920's . Tried Notts FA and a few of the well known local sides Basford U, Carlton Town ( Sneinton FC) etc but no joy.

All the Kerrys in Nottingham are related, we went to Nottingham & Derby between 1750 to 1840 from the Smalley/Morley/Breadsall area of Derbyshire during the industrial revolution.

Do you have any family who lived in Carlton during WW1, photos, information, medals then come down to Carlton Central Junior School on Friday 28th March for our WW1 Heritage Day.

My grand parents, Francis & Tom Roberts lived next door to the Union Pub on Union Rd. Grandad played the piano and grandma sang. If you lived on the rd you may remember Tom as he had a glass eye, he was badly wounded in WW2.

Greenwood Dale Bilateral School has been all but airbrushed from the Nottingham Academy History book. No reunions at the school have been held to my knowledge.

Who remember anything about the Basford & Bulwell Home Guard? I have a photo of my granddad Fred Kerry in uniform with the Foresters cap badge, but apart from that..not a lot. I have seen a Basford & Bulwell Home guard photo at the QRL/Notts Yeo museum at Thoresby but cant see grandad on it.

Oakdale is wide but one of its sideroads, Dovedale Road, is even wider. I've never understood the reason unless is was something to do with the boundary between the city and what was then Carlton Urban District.
Correct, Dovedale was the last road in Nottingham. I was born on Dovedale but had to go to Jessie Boot instead of Parkdale!
-
Shame that the junior schoo li went to Jessie Boot has been renamed, is he being slowly airbrushed out of our history?
-
I'm new to the site and noticed a family by the name of Kerry in the Bakersfield area. Any link to the the two Kerry brothers who were at Jesse Boot School in the 1960s? The elder was named Martin and the younger was Nicholas (from memory) and they lived on Dovedale Road.
Hi Janet
Yup thats me! Martin from Jessie 1965 to 1971....so Janet W.....ok you have got me guessing??

-
Thanks all.....I am being seroius how did you know that my Uncle..well great Uncle Albert lived there???? He was born in 1901.

Should have said its on the 1920 & 1938 pre WW2 map. The farm was in more open land in 1920 but by 1938 quite enclosed, a bit like Dale farm on Sneinton Dale.

I am a member of Bromley House library and been thru the map room and have found Brook Farm but only half shown, its approx where the Shell Garage is opp the old Manvers School,(wish i could get the hang of posting images) After looking thru the site i have found what i need!

Hi. I trying to locate a map of around 1910 of Brook Farm Sneinton Hill were the Kerry family lived. I have purcashed a couple of the Godfrey maps but the farm land just about on the border of each map! I am starting to write up my family history of our time in and around Carlton Rd and the farm is proving to be both mapless & photo less at the moment...any help would be great and once i learn how to publish images i will send some out of the family in the market sq.
