George Road stretches from Slade Road to Marsh Hill. I'm not sure where 179 is but think it is one of the houses opposite Brookvale Park which stretches a good half way along George Road and is still very picturesque. If you Google George Road, there are some photos of the road and the park by...

Eric. Had a look at your photos on your profile, and they were very nice. I was most impressed with your water colours though. Loved the one with the dog on a wet and windy day. You are very talented, even if you can't upload pics on to thread. Lynda:)

Well!!! You certainly were a beautiful baby. Lynda:grin2:

Hear Hear to all posts!!!!!!!!

I must admit, I knew it would be tearful, so I didn't watch it. I admire these men so very much. I only hope their sacrifices are worth it. So many times we never really get to know the reason WHY. Lynda:)

Who were you looking for Adele? There are lots of eyes on this here site. Perhaps one of us could help you. Lynda:)

Hello Adele I may be wrong, but I thought you could access Parish Records on line from Family Search.org which I thought held most if not all the parish records throughout the country. It is a free search, and you just need to enter name district and approx. dates. Just follow what it asks...

Mike I was born in 1946 so must have been there from 1951 until 1957. I wonder if I remember any of them? Have you seen the photo I put up of the Coronation Party between St Thomas and Abbey Road? I wasn't on that, but it was took outside our back garden, and most of the children of our age were...

It may have been the one I was thinking of then as I lived in Abbey Road and went to Slade Road School. All I remember was taking my dolls in to have their arms put back on, and there eyes retrieved from the back of their heads. Proper wicked I was to my dolls. Lynda

John that is really great. Thankyou so much. Lyn. That is a lovely picture of you and your Dad. I always love looking at old photos, and they have all been smashing. Now heres one of my family. Mom is in the middle with the big smile. Its in an old pub somewhere either in Aston or Nechells. Nan...

Thanks to Bernie for starting this thread. Where abouts is your picture Lyn? Would love to see it. Lynda:)

What a good photo Bernard. Inspired me to look for one of my Dad which I found with me as a nipper. It's good to be proud of our parents.

Graham. Thank you so much for that. Mom would have been so thrilled too. I am going to pass it on to some more of my family, who I know will be as proud as I am. Lynda

Thanks again Cadeau. It's always good to see old and loved family remembered. Lynda

Thank you for that Cadeau. Fancy saying that to you though. It shows you how we shouldn't say things we really don't mean. He was a nice man though. Mom and he were very close, and she looked after him after his wife died. My sisters son, Mark Lines is very much into cycling, and has raced on...

Salford Bridge and the park hold a lot of memories for me. Living not far from there down the Slade Road, it was our old stomping ground. Cadeau. I had an Uncle who used to have a lot to do with the cycling years ago, but may have been before your time. His name was Bill McCormick. He lost his...

I was there in 1964. As you say, we couldn't hear a thing, and my head spun for quite a while after. But yes. It was worth it. Lynda

I don't think it matters where you live Astonian. I still use all these old sayings. Mom and Dad always used to say about going round the Wrekin. It wasn't till we moved to Telford, that I understood what it meant. I love the old sayings Lynda

Thanks a lot Lynne. I was hoping to save cash but twas not to be. I was trying to expand my tree to son in laws family, but sometimes its not that easy. Thanks for your time and effort Lynne Lynda:)

Thank you Lady Linda. You've given me another child for the couple. Di. It's the christian names I'm looking for. Marriage must have been about 1911/1912, but can't find that either.:explode: Anymore help please:) Lynda
