Hello Vera

thank you for showing an interest and helping me  I believe the three sisters (all adults) were from Cumbria or Northumberland area and were evacuees.  Dad said the house he lived in was very odd one window had iron bars on it and it was a strange shape it was due for demolition but delayed due to the huge influx of evacuees so I am not sure if it is there any longer.  He went back to Alston in 1979 and a lady approached him in the street she actually remembered him! he was so taken aback he forgot to ask who she was I will see Dad next weekend and ask him if any of the names ring a bell

Hello

My Dad was an evacuee between 1940 to 1945, he lived in a funny house that he said had a song written about it, they were going to demolish it but in the end they decided to house evacuees there.  He said it had steps going up to the front door and the road or a alley ran underneath it I think he said it was called "newhome" or "newhouse" not sure, does anyone remember it?  He lived there with three sisters one of whom was called Ethel

Hello Miriam

I am carrying out some research on the home I did type in Darlington Road but nothing came up

Would be wonderful if you could let me know how you found it 

Kind Regards

Yes I tend to agree with Larkspur on this it is what I consider to be my family history and I find it all very exciting and adds flesh to the bones 

Oh Ok thats intereresting I think my parents did marry in October 1963 or 64 and my sister was born 1965 they registered us both together summer 1965 by then I was 3 years old, I wonder if I can check for an earlier entry?
