jacquigalah Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 My mum was born in Pearl Street Sharrow in 1924, I was born in the same house in 1946. I was just interested if anyone remembers the street and the people who lived there then. Jacqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridablade Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A mate of mine lived on Pearl st. but I just can't remember his name but I think there was a passage, (Gennal ) from Fentonville St. to Pearl St. and he lived around there. He was a regular at Arnies Washington Arms. If he's still living he'll be about 81. Mind you I could be completely wrong about the whereabouts of Pearl St. since it's about 50 years since I was around that area. I'll have a Google.

jacquigalah Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi, if he was a regular at the Washington Arms he probably knows my mum's family The Wilsons who lived up a genel at number 35, what's his name, I'll tell my mum and see if she knows him, she's 84. Thanks, Jacqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smary Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My great grandmother lived at 7 Pearl Street - She was called Lucy Blanche Whomersley and Walton - she married twice. My grandmother Beatrice Ida Whomersley married in 1920 and it shows her address as 7 Pearl Street. Anyone remember the Whomersley family - there was Olive, Laura, Frances, Florence, Eva, George, Herbert and I think a John Frederick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janner Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 In the 1901 census my great grandad and family lived , according to the census at 43 ct 3 h Pearl St. I suppose this means the 3rd house in court 43, or can anyone give me a better interpretation?
