tracyf 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi, I'm new here and found this great site while doing some research for my family tree. Don't know if anyone remembers a second hand clothes shop on Wilford Road which my grandad Don Metcalf owned and was run by my gran Amy and mum Ann. If anyone has any memories to share or even a photo, I'd really appreciate it. I was pretty young at the time and only have a vague picture in my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Tracy Have split you post as it got buried in the other thread. I have memories of someone called Metcalf possibly at Trent Bridge School? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tracyf 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks for doing that, hopefully someone may remember the shop. Our Metcalfs didn't go to Trent Bridge school i'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I knew an Isobell Metcalf , but that was in the Carlton area, I just thought it was an unusual surname and they could be related Quote Link to post Share on other sites
