Yes you are right,If I recall right they had a grandson named Matthew.Not Manning but Maney from about 1940-64
Not Matthew but Paul, my parents left in 55 but my grandparents remained there until they passed away. My Dad remembers your family and the chap that had your house before a Mr Shepherd, also the Lings that lived next door to you.Yes you are right,If I recall right they had a grandson named Matthew.
I was born in No55 in 1951 I remember your grandparents ,they lived in house next door to shop ,after mr ling passed away we moved into that house because it had extra bedroom.and we stayed until about1967/8 when council cleared the area.Not Matthew but Paul, my parents left in 55 but my grandparents remained there until they passed away.

That's nice that you remember them, i remember very little of my Gran as she died when i was about 4. My Brother who lived there was also born in 1951.I was born in No55 in 1951 I remember your grandparents ,they lived in house next door to shop ,after mr ling passed away we moved into that house because it had extra bedroom.and we stayed until about1967/8 when council cleared the area.
Your nan and grandad were a lovely couple, would it have been Paul's mother who was young and always dressed nice not at all like all the other mothers w ho always seemed to wear aprons and curlers
I know what you mean about time machine, can't say I miss the outside loo or small rooms but I miss the people and the way everyone helped each other. I have been to a couple of reunions that have been good nights and hear that there maybe another coming up.and still keep in touch with some from the street.it would be good if you could post the photo of our side of street,my sister still has one of the cobble stones she took it for a keepsake of happy times growing up with good and lasting friends.:biggrin:Yes she was always lovely, sadly we lost Mom (Alice) about five years ago but my Dad George is still alive and is nearly 86 but quite well and he feeds me lots of info about the area. I wish i had a time machine to go back and see it again. I remember the house and the yard it was cobbled i think and the outside shared toilets. I remember the little scullery that still had a disused gas lamp and the windows to the front of the house were all odd because of bomb damage. I Remember the smell of carbolic soap and i better stop because i'm getting goose pimples again:sorrow:
Yes it's people that make a place, Dad said all the people were decent in the yard. The photo my Dad has is of himself and my Mom with the street as a bit of a back drop so i will have to ask him about it, nice talking to you!.I know what you mean about time machine, can't say I miss the outside loo or small rooms but I miss the people and the way everyone helped each other.

hi chris i grew up with the myers family,kath ally frank patty julie how are they allHello Bernie,
My name is Chris Pearce and I'm the son of Julie (Myers), who I believe is one of your sisters. I'm 34 now. We have never met, and I have never met the majority of my extended family, but I have some memories as a young child visiting Maureen and her sons in Birmingham. My mum is one of ten and I'm convinced that makes you my uncle. It would be great to reach out if you're still attached to this site. Hopefully I will hear from you in due course.
I too went to Bishop Ryder school and I lived at 2/21, Howe Street.Hi All
I went Bishop Ryder School and lived at 16 Howe St. I remember Mrs. Goodhall. I remember the chip shop called Chris's. and I also remember Mrs. Brooks and her Daughter. I loved that school, and was very upset when I left at the age of eight years old.
I lived in Howe Street my name was Irene Corry with my five brothers.Hi, I went to Bishop Ryder's school about 1951, can't remember much about it except walking there from Howe Street, aged about five, who could do that now.

My late sister was a teacher there in the late 1950's. You may remember her, Mrs Brookes or her daughter Denise (born 1953) who would have been in the infant school? I know Denise was friends with an Angie Wheeler until about 1960. I remember the name Mrs Goodall too, but sorry, not any more.
