Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not sure when the Wards moved to garden Street, CT. Mid to late 20s, possibly. They were certainly there in 1939 and remained until the property was demolished in 1965 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Robert Dickman who married Mary Kate Ward was a Lambley lad @DAVIDW There may be a wider connection though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,084 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I wonder if there is a connection to Harry Dickman. Dickman’s Cottage in Lambley is rented out as a holiday home. Friends of ours from down south use that as a base whenever they are up here. https://www.dickmanscottage.co.uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Quite possibly the same family. I have a photo somewhere of Mary Kate and Robert sitting outside a cottage with their large extended family. Mary Kate has grown very fat and looks nothing like the slim girl in the silk dress. At least she had a better innings than her mother! Wonder if it's the same cottage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My aunts left when their place was demolished, obviously around the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 You might also have seen me. I'd have been in my pram of course! As soon as I was able to speak, I'd have been sitting on the front doorstep as punishment for asking too many questions about the family! Emily didn't like that sort of thing.
