Staffordshire / PERRY Family of Hanley
« on: Wednesday 11 April 07 14:26 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the Perry Family of Hanley. My Dad Arthur Gerald Perry was born in 58 Denbigh Street in 1905, was resident at 57 Brook Street in 1927 and after that I have lost any info on Stoke residences.
My Grandad was Arthur Perry born 1875, my Gran Alice (Steventon) also born 1875. I have no idea of if my 1/2 brothers and sisters, all born pre 1940, are still in the area but would appreciate any info if someone knows of them or recognises the names or addresses. Thanks in anticipation, and thanks to Rootsweb for such an interesting site. Michael.

Staffordshire / Re: "DUCK"

As some-one who ia "Derbyshire born. Derbyshire bred, strong in the arm and 'Wik' in the 'ead,  Duck is a familiar term. "Eye up mi duck , ah thowt yo wor ded" is an old form of greeting still used in a lot of Derbyshire and Nottingham. I guess that the "Strays" we all see so much in the genealogy lists must take it with them to foreign parts, I know that 'G'Day mi duck" gets some funny looks in Western Australia where I live now.
A good web site with the sayings and audio of them is available from  BBC Radio Derby.
