My mom remembers the smedleys, next to them was Mr and Mrs ward, then my moms house, then another Murray family next door
 
My mom doesn't remember your family, she remembers twin girls, Marlene and Linda Jenkins with their mom Martha. My moms siblings were Sandra, Carol, georgina and Ralph
 
yes thats correct viv...i am down that way often and its very hard to work out with the naked eye just how many streets and roads were re routed...great to have that map tool at our disposal..it helps me a lot and considering the length of it its so nice to see that my beloved villa st which started at bsw and finished at wills st has not changed its course one little bit:)
