freckles 196 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi Everyone,I found the forums by accident i was looking for old pictures and maps of Rose Yard off Bridlesmith Gate as part of my family history research and saw a post about Berridge Road school ,I went to Berridge infant and junior school as did my brother and sisters,I went to Berridge in 1952 Miss Smith was head in the infants and Mr Griffiths was head in juniors after that I went to Bentinck girls school.I lived in Kirkstead Terrace Kirkstead Street till I was in my middle teens we then moved higher up the street which had had one of the bedrooms turned into a bathroom boy did we think we were posh.My name then was Gibney.Hope to hear from you all soon.Freckles 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

freckles 196 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 The street name didn't ring a bell so I googled it ,as far as I know we didn't have close family in St Anns, I have traced the family back as far as 1779 and its a big far ranging family so it could be ,will check out my tree and see if I can find a link.
