    Thank you both so much for replying! My g uncle was a 'hinge maker' on the census so this makes perfect sense. I have now traced his daily journey from his home in New Summer Lane to Love Lane! Isn't it lovely to have a site like this we can call into and meet such historians? Thank you...

    I was there a little earlier Wakaman. We had to make our own uniform in needlework, which consisted of a red and white striped, short sleeved blouse and grey A line skirts! I hope that helps. Our needlework teacher was Miss Mills and by the time we had finished the blouse, it was too small...

    Thankyou for that Shera, that is probably my tree you were looking at. I couldn't find Maria in 1901 but my great grandfather Joseph was still with my grandmother who died the same year. I just can't find Maria anywhere before 02. x
