Thank you for your replies - that would make a lot of sense then wouldn’t it!

Thank you.

Norfolk / St Augustine’s Lodge, St Leonard’s Road, Norwich in 1945

Hello

I wonder if someone could help me, as I live in Herefordshire and have no knowledge of the Norfolk area.

My grandmother was stationed in Great Yarmouth during WW2, she was in the ATS.  She got pregnant by an American soldier (my mum).

My mum and I have sent off for her records and just had them back. According to the records,  when she was five months pregnant she had a “accident” that took her to the address in the title of my post in November 1945.

Would anyone know what kind of establishment this was at that time?  Not long after this she left the army and my mum was born in March 1946.

Thank you.

Sophie  :)

Hi Mike

Thank you for that!

I must invest in a copy of the book referred to!  What a lovely old photo too!  I bet some of my relatives are on it so I've contacted the site see if they can help -  fingers crossed.

Thanks again

Gloucestershire / Longhope Cricket Club - Photos?

Hello there!

I was wondering if anyone would have any old photos of Longhope Cricket Club, especially around the early 1900's?

It turns out, a few of my ancestors played in that team with the surname "Constance"....I descend from Charley S Constance, he was my great grandfather.  His family owned the Steam Mills in the village.

Thank you!

Sophie Williams, nee Constance

Cornwall / Heron’s Creek, St Mawes 1930’s

Hello everyone

I’m Sophie and I live in Herefordshire.

My question is about my grandma, Kathleen Bick (DOB 07.06.16) who was a personal maid on the 1939 Census at a house in St Mawes called Heron’s Creek.

I know Kathleen worked for the Bird Family (as in the custard) and they holidayed in St Mawes so this makes
sense. On the Census, Elsie H Bird lives in the house and it describes her as widow of Geoffrey Bird (presumably deceased).  A Mr Harry and Mrs Violet Holmes live there too as well as the usual servants.

Does anyone know if this house still exists?  If it helps, other houses in the area were Uplands, Lawn Bank, Crossways, Polrath Point, Searigs etc etc.  Tredenham Road features too.

Would love to hear from anyone with any information

Regards
