phelps winnie and harry

A

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
hi there guys ;
i am researching the two people they was a married couple by the name of phelps and they lived in ford street hockley brook
during the early years right up until the early sixties when they started to demo the ford street it was on the bck to backs
it was a big court yard which when you walked up into off ford street i think it could have been number 2-4-6 back of some think
and when you went up the entry you walk across the court yard you would come out another entry which left you facing the hockley bus station ; i beleive they lived there in the thirtys they had two sons one named barry and the other one was bryan ; he was the youngest of
the two boys ; i really want to know whom was winnie parents i beleive she wa born around the 1869 period
if this is possible to look at for me she may have been a hinton or a perks ;sibbling;
or if possible what was harrys occupation ;
i really appreciate any info on this family please and if its possible i thank you all for giving me your valuable time on this
best wishes alan ;;astonian;;
