Hi, my Grandfather Harry Ebeneezer Earp L/Sgt 5158 was with the 4th Battalion killed 06/08/15 Gallipoli name on the Helles Memorial. I believe in 1901 he was at Ramilles Barracks Hampshire. I also believe there was a brother William but I haven't yet managed to find him

Hi, There were 4 sisters, Bertha born 1908, Annie Born 1910, Dorothy Born 1915 and Muriel the youngest born 1918. The family didn't seem to keep in touch with each other accoding to 2 of my cousins. It would appear that none of my cousins are alive apart from one and myself. Details of my...

Hi, did anyone work witha Muriel Earp around 1933-1939 she lived in Claybrook Street

How about the comptometer now replaced by the calculator. We still have those type of tickets on our local trains here in NZ.

Thats great do you think they were after part of it was demolished as mom always described it as entry was through an alleyway to a shared courtyard with communal toilet and coalhouses.

Hi, thanks for the info, I am writing a book on the family history and was hoping for an actual photo of Claybrook St but will include those photos and info of the inn. Mom often talked about the Hippodrome but never about the pub.

The village inn according to the maps is not on Claybrook Street so don't think these are the photos I am looking for.

Hi, sorry meant to say it was Hurstcroft Road. Thanks for your help.

Fantastic, any idea when they were taken looks as if it was around the time they were starting to be demolished. Would you by any chance have a photo of Hurst St South Yardley where I was born.

HI, no seems they didn't survive although one does mention she got a photo from the library I will see if my sister is able to go over there once things quieten down. I am in NZ so can only do it online and wasn't able to access anything when I tried.

My mother was born at 23 Claybrook street in 1918 and my grandmother had been living there for quite a while Phyllis & Harry Earp. I would love a photo of Claybrook St if anyone has one. Cheers Jean

Hi, I haven't seen oxo in a tube here in NZ would be easier than trying to get the foil off with wet hands.

Hi, did any one else have oxo cubes as a beef tea drink? I remember having it as a child tried it the other day and still liked it.
