Helen, I well remember Ernie French testing his motorcycles down the lane, he was a bit older than me, I'm sixty this July, but would patiently answer my questions about his bikes.
Dave Brown was a good friend of mine, I used to help him out with welding repairs to the many cars he used to repair for others, he was avery good car body repairer and painter. Indeed, he resprayed GUB 580D, my E-type Jaguar, and did a cracking job. Carmen Red!
George Aston lived in the third house in the Fordrift then moved to Coleshill Road, next to one of his rival farmers, Harry Musson. His butchers shop was in Land Lane.
Sarah? Can't remember the surname but their business was The Stechford Bacon Company.
I remember hearing of the birth of the Jones triplets, if memory serves they were the result of IVF treatment.
The Burleys lived at the top end of Elmdon Lane, a few houses before the station. I occasionally have a drink with Dave Burley who now lives at Furnace End and his brother runs a door, window and hardware shop called Flair, in the centre of Marston Green.
The other names you mention don't ring any bells, regrettably.
Ask Si for his former address, please, and remind me of his surname, if I don't recall him then my brother Alan or one of my sisters, Mavis and Peggy, may well.
All the best,
Ian
