Hello
                 Does anyone have any memories of 71 John St Derby and the Castlefields are. My father Dennis Griffiths was born there in 1927 and his mother Sarah Ann Griffths (nee Watson) was brought up there.

            Just nice to get a idea of what life was like.

Many Thanks

Hello
             Thank you for your reply.  I have some documents that linking my Grandfather and mother  William Henry Griffiths married to Sarah Ann Griffiths living at 41 John St must be 1930. Maybe you could know  myGrandmothers maiden name Sarah Ann Watson they lived in the same street father Charles Watson.

            My Auntie Jean Liversey ran the Park Tavern pub. Just for interest I found out it was the most densly populated area in Derby.

Cheers
GRant

Sorry not able to help, we moved to 42 John street in 1946 and lived there untill the street was pulled down, around 1960ish.

One of my rellies, Richard Dexter and his wife Emma lived at 44 John Street in 1901 (Richard had also been boarding there in 1891).  The Baldwin branch of the family, were at 52 John Street in 1891 and 1901.  More of "my" Baldwins were at 88 John Street in 1881.
