Hi James,
Just browsing when I came across your message re Thurmans Yard. In my family tree research I find that my Grandmother Ethel May Barnett was born 1885 and at that time lived with her parents (Walter Samuel Barnett and Ellen nee Gadd Kerry) at 4 Thurmans Yard. Neighbours?
Thurmans Yard was off Thurman Street, Alfreton Road. Passing through to Birkin Ave. Don't know if those streets still exist. I left Nottm many many years ago
Regards David Barnett
