Kristy Ric Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Rec'd a copy of my Grandparents' Birth Certs today. One was born at Coisley Hill and one at Britton Hill. I'm pretty certain that my Nan's house was knocked down years ago and is just open grass (or it was about 15 years ago) but I'm trying to work out how far the two houses were away from each other? Also if anyone knows anything about the Booth, Farrar, Andrews or Lindley families from Woodhouse, I'd be grateful if they could contact me. My family tree until this morning stopped at my Grandparents. I now know my Great-Grandparents' names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I believe the young David "Screaming Lord" Sutch of Raving Monster Loony Party fame lived on Coisley Hill with his grandparents for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
