I've been trying to find the census records for the property or area for that year but have been unable to find it. If you happen to have a copy or have access to the details I would be really grateful if you could share. I am trying to work out the parentage of my great grandfather (it's not clear who his mother was) and the 1871 census should explain all; if it were to be found!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the fabulous stories- so much history!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-18052438229557187672017-11-13T20:15:23.534+00:002017-11-13T20:15:23.534+00:00can anyone tell me why so much blue glass is found...can anyone tell me why so much blue glass is found on the site of gib mill I over the years have collected many many pieces. glad of any imfo thanks Maria hall.

We all have fond memories of that time in our lives with gas lights, toilet down the yard, tin bath in front of the fire, swimming in the canal and the long walk to school everyday plus taking the accumulator for charging once a week up apethorn Lane to the garage in Gees Cross. My dad and motor bike and sidecar that we would all get into and especially when we went to North Wales to our Grandma's caravan for annual holidays. I recently visited with my brother and it brought back some great memories for us and he is bringing some pictures for me when he comes for a holiday next week in Turkey where I now live.Ian wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-20309240866794813802016-07-05T16:01:19.616+01:002016-07-05T16:01:19.616+01:00Hi Tom I use to live on Gibb lane I was one of the...Hi Tom I use to live on Gibb lane I was one of the Wilson family that lived at no 24.Rosemarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-38776299190178939222013-10-31T13:54:31.293+00:002013-10-31T13:54:31.293+00:00]Geoffrey [canada]

I am interested about the mention of a sweet shop in the road as my family say Phillip's mother Mary ran a sweet shop, but I've not been able to find her name listed in any trade directory. It probably isn't her shop as she was living in Birchvale Drive, Romiley at that time and then Gotherage Close by 1946.<br />Lovely post!Alex Cleverleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-54709564550744479862012-02-02T09:22:54.485+00:002012-02-02T09:22:54.485+00:00Hello Raymond

I did wonder about the Kelly's.. I remember Pat's dad from the Cheshire Chesse... he liked his pool as well as a pint. When I worked at Lowry's Pat turned up in his normal dress, a jumper and pants.. Keith who was working the door told him he could not come in without a collar showing... he told Pat to go home and put a shirt on.. Pat went away and came back about 10 minutes later..... wearing a red shirt under his jumper... as he walked past I noticed some writing on the collar.. It said Sylhet.. he'd only gone into the Sylhet Restaurant and grabbed a couple of serviettes and folded them to fornm a shirt collar... we let him stay in for his cheek... but with in with in half an hour he was fast asleep..Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-49135761894015492522011-03-15T21:32:02.459+00:002011-03-15T21:32:02.459+00:00Mr and Mrs Kelly was Pat and Linda Kelly's mum...Mr and Mrs Kelly was Pat and Linda Kelly's mum and dad.
