jane gee

My Aunty Flo told me her mother my grandmother worked for a jam factory in nottingham she said it was Thackerays it was rather a disgusting story that my grandmothers sister Liz was being greedy and opened a jar of jam to eat it and found a hair ball in it. I too have tried to find a factory called Thackerays but couldnt find anything. I have only every found my grandmother working in the lace industry until 1905 when she married and moved to Shirebrook. Thank yo for all your posts.

Thank you so much for this I think my very tatty photocopies dont cover this part.

I want to have a map/maps that covers the Nottingham City area Basford & Radford mid Victorian era i have one for Basford but a really tatty photocopy for Radford . I am trying to find out where Bloomsgrove Street was in Radford was where my ancestors lived.

My Aunty Flo told me that my grandmother (born 1885) who lived in Radford and Basford worked for a company called Thackerys is this a myth or has anyone heard this?

Seeing the reply with stop slopping reminded me of my mum she used to say this to my husband and I before we were married!
