Dear Abiam
Just got back from a weekend away and found your message on Rose Montague. She was the daughter of Ellen and William. Can you please tell me what was theinformation and in which book?
Thank you

Hi  Abiam
After reading your piece  I wish I could check with my mother{she died four years ago.} She was born in 1911 but I think moved to Garden Cottages when she was six or seven and her mother had remarried. She often talked about a little girl dying and being taken to see her . I wonder if this could have been your aunt.
I think your family may have followed each other around because I think my mother lived at Norfolk Park before moving to Garden Cottages!

Thank you Abiam for your suggestions on finding more about my ancesters in Tyrrells Buildings. Were your family who lived in garden Cottages called Wise. One of my cousins lived in our cottage after we left remembers a family called Wise. She thought they lived near the Palethorpes. We lived at number 86. We moved to Doncaster when I was 6 so I have only few memories of my time there but some are clear. I remember going to the shop at the end of the road with tea coupons and the lady making a cone shaped bag to put some sweets in it . My cousin said it would be Mrs Bond and her shop was in the front room. I remember lots of little frogs in the gardens at the back probably from the dyke. I can remember water coming into the house when it flooded. Some of the families I remember were the Sellars the Hopkins, Heedens,Palethorpes and the Wests.I used to go to Sunday School at the Gospel Hall at the end of the road. On the way to Ellington Park school I seem to remember passing some big houses in a lane and talking to a girl there who was about my age. I think her name was Amanda. I envied her her bunk beds! I know her brother went to boarding school. It was a different world from the one I knew. She came to a birthday party I had but I can't remember going past her front gate!!!  I never got bunk beds but my children did.
