DAVIDW 1,497 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 These look like a formidable bunch of Carlton grannies out on a trip . The only ones I can identify are Mary Ann Hart seated in the centre in the flowery dress and Ethel Wright (nee Hart) on the far left with flowery scarf and the lady next to her is Mrs Haslem . Certainly a Park Road , Carlton connection and looks like early 1950s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,497 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 A result ! After posting a link to the above "grannies" photo on a Notts family history board I was contacted by the Great Grand-daughter of one of the ladies above . This also dates the picture to 1949 or before . "Lady sitting 3rd from left at the front, seated , with her handbag on her lap is Edith Daykin (nee Clarke) who died in 1949. She lived at Kirks Buildings in Carlton .Her friend Mrs Tinkler is next to her (2nd from left at front)." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 9,038 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 A crowd of people at Land's End in 1950. The Nottstalgia link is that they are all from Nottingham. It's an old family photo and includes my mother's parents (who lived at Grimston Road, Radford) and two aunts who lived at Garden Street, Radford. So it could be an organised trip from the Radford/Lenton area, or maybe it's just a Skills/Barton package holiday with people from all parts of Nottingham. Out of 34 people, I only know 4 of them, so the others may be related to you. They are definitely all from Nottingham. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,050 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Which ones do you know CliffTon. I'll show this to Mum. All my ancestors lived around Radford so it's likely some may be related or might know some names Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karlton 581 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I knew Beryl Tivey, and I had the pleasure of working for Jack Tivey and what a great great chap he was. he sang in the carlton male voice choir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karlton 581 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 hi davidw you are quite right it is Edith Daykin. wife to Harry. i knew them both. After I left colwick loco as a passed cleaner, I re-joined again as an oil and greaser and worked with Harry. hope this little bit of info helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,497 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Karlton, thats good, though as I said I didn't know the Daykins, they were identified by someone that emailed me . See you worked at Colwick. Did you know any of the Harts that worked at Colwick or even my uncle Eric Wilson who I believe worked there , could have been a union man ?

Karlton 581 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't recall the name Hart. I believe the union man was a chap by the name of stan fl--------s, such a long time ago, I don't know wether i'm aloud to give out his name wthout permission. I do recall an Eric Wilson i don't know wether its the same one, could his wife be Ada? if not, sorry to dissapoint, davidw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,359 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I recognise the Cumberpatch brothers but can't remember their names. Was the 7th one called Ron who had the fruit and veg shop on Meadow Lane?. It was between Grainger Street and Holme Street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
