MargieH 7,599 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I was born in a house on Hereford Road, Woodthorpe, which backed on to a railway in a cutting. When I was a few months old we moved to a house more than halfway up Woodthorpe Drive, which was my official home until I married I suppose. My parents were from villages in North Notts (Saundby and Misterton) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,427 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Actually born in Mansfield. (Don't tell anybody). It was wartime 1944 and I suppose for some reason they sent me mam to the Mansfield hospital. Soon moved into Netherfield though, which is where I grew up. I wish I'd have asked her more about it now, but you know how it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We never seem to ask enough questions do we? How I wish I could do that now with my parents. My dad and his side of the family were from Edinburgh, my mum and her lineage from Hucknall and going back a good way, Ireland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ValuerJim 277 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Born at the Firs in Woodthorpe, then 'home', new born, to digs near the Metropole cinema, then to grans on Highbury Vale, then to our own Saxondale Drive house in 1947. I think dad's side came from Sheffield and Lincoln, and mum's from Derby. Like Stu and Benjamin, I wish I had taken a greater interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They met - and the rest is family history. Both sides are from Nottingham way back to the Great-greats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
