Where did you live

Thanks for that. Im sure we have seen it and it says she died 1942 of TB. I am not sure about middle name but Lilian is spelt correctly, so it could be and that's exciting. The reason we are looking is because she potentially had another child called Dorothy Green who we are trying to trace. She was Lilian Jones married Harry Green in 1926 but he ran off when my grandad was very young and Lilian gave him up to her parents to look after so we don't have much information but keen to know more!

Hi, I was born at 120, Calshot, which was across the other side of the road. I had a friend as a child called Tony Green, who would have lived in the 115 area....unsure of a William Taylor or a Dorothy Green. Sorry. Gerry

Hi Banjo ! I see you lived in Victoria Road during the 1950s . Do you recall a newsagents shop? It belonged to my Uncle (Bert) Brotherton- a very short man. My aunt was Belle Brotherton and was a teacher at the local primary school. I understand she terrified a number of the kids; staff were nervous of her, and even us, the family she could be ‘strict’. Invitations to tea were:”Five o’clock- not 10 minutes to five and not 15 minutes past five, because then the door will be locked !”
