I've just found this site my parents and I lived on here 1960 or there abouts David and Marjorie Morton , mom used to go to the pictures with a lady called Doreen who lived in the next caravan . There was a boy who had a wigwam and I used to play with him can't remember his name , remember what I called the sandpits as wellHi Sue, I skated with a ROY (RINGO) SMITH at the old Birmingham ice rink, he lived on that caravan park at the Beacon when he got married in the early 60s.

Hi Wend, do you have any other details about the time you lived there.. specifically the neighbour Doreen? I believe my grandmother and grandfather lived there for a while around the same time. Her name was Doreen Biggs (Marson). My mum would have been born in Dec 1960, you may possibly remember something like that?I've just found this site my parents and I lived on here 1960 or there abouts David and Marjorie Morton , mom used to go to the pictures with a lady called Doreen who lived in the next caravan .

Thanks Wend. Must be a different Doreen, as her husband then would have been Leslie.

well his surname was Markley.. I also have Smith's in my family..
When my aunt was a child she had a friend called Margaret Smith, who turned out to be cousin. They only found out when they went to the cemetery to put flowers on Margret's great grandmother's grave, which of course was my Aunt's great grandmother...they had known each other for about 15 yrs by then.
