    Aston Brook Street

    Brilliant post..........heres Aston Brook St in 1939.......our relatives are in 126...think Doris worked in the cycle factory...they later moved to 20 Tower Road. I wonder if anyone knows the Bayley or Rice families...also Overton which was Alice's maiden name. At 134 were the large Haycock family.

    Use of genealogy section

    I dont understand........if theres a Genealogy section and people ask for help in this section how does it impact on other sections? Surely people who dont like Genealogy questions are not impacted when someone uses the section.
