Shropshire / Re: Aston Hall Children's Annexe for RJAH Oswestry 1950s
« on: Wednesday 02 June 21 15:15 BST (UK)  »
My uncle, Peter Vile, was a patient at Aston Hall from 1946 to 1949, and then went back regularly for further treatment and follow ups. Funnily enough he now lives in Sydney, as Michael Roberts does! He has lots of happy memories from his time there and hopes to put down some of his memories in writing for me to post here at some point in the future. I also have some photos of him there which I will dig out and try to post here.
Best wishes

A day or two ago I found a Salmon Mash Beart in a census return; the birth registration also gives that as his actual name, so not a mistranscription!

Salmon Mash Beart was my great great uncle. As far as I can tell his two first names were family surnames from previous generations.... a bit unfortunate that he got landed with both when his siblings were given more ordinary names such as Frederick, Charles, Oscar and Herbert! Salmon, I believe, was known as Sam - probably a wise decision! Would be very happy to make contact with anyone out there researching the Beart family.
