Jackpen 10 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi all, came across this forum after finding an article in NPost. I was born in Aspley in my great aunt Edna's house. My mum was born and bred in Radford, Dad was from Corby, Northamptonshire and we moved there when I was about nine months old. We visited mama as often as we could, till the day she died my mum always thought of Nottingham as home. Mama's maiden name was Belshaw and I am fascinated to learn anything about her family and life in the 1900's. She lived on Trafalgar Street until she was moved into a flat on Denman gardens (opposite the old wash house). After my grandad Alec died she became a member of the Community association which was based in a shop at the bottom of the street? Look forward to speaking to people on here and exchanging any memories/pictures. Jackie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Melissa. Re #16. My mum was born in Salisbury Street in 1923 and left to get married in 1944. My grandparents, William and Henrietta Stevenson still lived there until around 1962. When looking through the old White's and Wrights Directories, I found my grandparents name at I thing (but maybe wrong) number 79. There was another Stevenson family on Salisbury Street. My grandparents used to drink in the Marquis of Lorne. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jackpen 10 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Welcome Jackie, you are in the right place. Did you say you saw us in the Nottingham Post? Hi, I work for local Council and there was a piece in a local paper about Nottingham and job, I then clucked on it and it took me to NP where I read an article about the caves and there was a mention of your forum?
