There's a house on Hardys Drive, Gedling called Wheatcrofts its surposed to be where Harry's mum lived.

Thanks for your welcome. It was great to come 'home' to Gedling in 95' . Brief family history - my original family name was Culley, we came from Whatton in 1880s great x2 g/parents kept lodging house off wood lane (buried at All Hallows') great grandad groom at Gedling house then worked for railway. Catherine married John Kiddier of Kiddiers brushes, Jack Culley on WW2 memorial - Lancaster navigator died 1942! Huge history buff loving reading ALL info on Gedling, what a great site and set of members
