The only other thing we know is that she was a member of the Primrose League at one point, but we can't find any connection between that and the "regalia" ( for want of a better word!)

My gt grandma lived in Sherwood Nottingham after she was married & died in 1943. We have come across a photo and are trying to identify what league etc she belonged to.Can any one help please?

I'll ask mum if any of the names ring any bells, although she does suffer from some memory loss now She would have been 12-18 during WW2,

Not sure whether I'm posting this in the right place ( knowing me, probably not!) I've recently discovered that my gran worked for a short time at the munitions factory at the bottom of Aspley Lane during WW2. This surprised me as it's not the sort of work I would have imagined her doing as she was a seamstress! Anyway, I digress! Does anyone have any information about the factory please? Even if only the name to start me off on my research.Fingers crossed & thank you.

Just found out that my mum's first job was at Toon's when she was 15.

So sorry to hear this.Thinking of you & your friend Bilbraborn.

Hi Karlton, welcome to Nottstalgia.

#103 .... Reincarnation!!!

I can quite understand the permission level on certain topics as mick2me quoted in #50 and I have no problems with that..... it was just so frustrating not being able to get on what were obviously 'open' discusssions. Thank you for sorting it.

Standhill Road Infants. Miss Clarke-Goddard ( didn't she have a dog that she used to take to school with her?) Miss Freestone (sp) was my first teacher .. I liked her that much that I refused to move up a class and kept going back to hers! Miss Moon was the second year teacher. I've got a vague recollection of writing on a slate in the first year ..... I could be wrong!

Thank you for thinking of me carni ( #40 & #42 ) ! Can get on to them now .... let's hope it continues

Still locked out of things like First School, which doesn't appear to have a limit on it ( some of the recent posts have less than 30 posts).As I said on an earlier post, out of 15 topics which I tried, I am locked out of 7. If I can't add comment to topics what's the point of staying?

Out of the first 15 I've tried (the recent posts) 7 are locked

I've got the same problem..... 'First School'... I'll have to check & see if there are any more.

Hi ... Regarding Cliff Ton's post #36 we've been told that the stretch of Dunstan St from Asper St to Norman Villas (marked with the red arrow) was originally John St.

Hi all... Sorry I haven't been on long enough to post anything in the last few days.We know someone who thinks he knows where John Street was, he's checking for us. Hopefully we'll know something by the end of next week. Yes Babs, I'm Jane & I did go to Carlton Girls in the dim & distant past!

Hi Notts2Oz

Hi Carni ... it's not very clear as i had to downsize it quite a bit. It's Mr Duke. I got the original information off Ancestry when I was looking for a relative in Netherfield & decided to have a browse through the area. It's a place we'd never heard of, and it's position on the census it can be anywhere from Curzon St, down to London North Western Terrace.

Definitely John St in Netherfield on the 1911 census. (Not someone we know .... just random from that road)

Certainly rolls back the years! We used to go drinking with Pete Rippon, Your brother John is still one of our 'best' friends ( if you can still have them at our age!) We remember your mum & dad ( Grace & Horace (?) ) from Cavendish Road. We took John home and got him back in safely more than a few times! Do you remember Dave Baker from Cavendish Rd? Jill's husband is Terry, they're still together & are on Chandos Street.Ian remembers some of the names you've listed. We're on Coningswath Rd

Hi Babs, Thanks for the information ....we're wondering now whether it was further into Netherfield & we're looking round the wrong streets. Even so, we can't place it. Husband ( Ian Hand) lived on Hodgkinson St., until we got married in 1970, then we moved round a few streets in Netherfield ( Manvers, Dunstan & Curzon) until we moved to Carlton ( where I'm from) in 1980. He knows Sheila, they were at school together.

Might have got the location wrong, it could have been further into Netherfield, Dunstan St/ Manvers St area ...... still can't place it though!

Hi everyone, thank you for the welcomes! Hi Cliff Ton! Thank you for looking. It is John St, Netherfield according to the 1911 census. I can remember all the bottom terraces as husband lived in Netherfield, but neither of us can recall this particular street. It possibly disappeared long before the terraces were demolished. Unfortunately any of the family who would remember have long gone!

Searching the 1911 census for Netherfield, I came across John Street possibly among the terraces (London North West Terrace etc). Does anyone know whereabouts this was please?
