Hi Rodney, No John Kerry isn't poorly its is younest brother that is ill,

he is the one i think didn't go into fulwood homes but till i see him again

i'll check that one out, he mentioned his illness and i forgot its name

but its inoperable.

I will put some girls names on thread at some point, glad you like the

list of names and will fill the numbers in soon. :thumbsup:

 

Oh, okay ...re John Kerry. By the way, how many former FCH wards are you in contact with, Brian?

Hi Rodney, I see the on/off people about although i've mention about

the the forum, sorry they seem pre-occupied but we do talk of the past

and they have there own stories.

This Ronnie Hill, brothers of the other hills when i see him we have a

right laugh about the homes.

 

A few threads back i mentioned about Ronnie and that i was uncertain if

he had been in the homes, well yes he had and not sure if he was in no2.

Till i see him again i'll ask him, he married and devoiced my half sister

which a long way back i mentioned on the threads.

When I left Millner was still in #3 and The Bull in 2 now I know a nasty bit of work was in #1 forget her name Unwin (munne) would know he was under her tender care ,so hard to believe they would put Bull on the girls side, someone must have had a very warped sense of humour

Yes, it would seem so. Good for Brian. I'd so much like to hear from some of my housemates. Surely most of them would still be around ...somewhere. They were the only family that I had ...same for them too, I guess.

Flyer, Miss Edge was in no1 -- Miss Royston in no2--

Miss Burton in no3 thats as it was when me and brothers moved onto

the boys side.

 

Miss Edge always had a fag on- very heavy smoker she was.

 

Our laws in the uk as stopped people smoking in the work off place, i'd

hate to think how miss Edge would go on not been able to smoke in

the house with children about. ( Health and Safety now ).

I think she should have been made to go outside round the back of

the toilets, better still in the coal house -- loved to have turned the key.

hihi. :hihi::hihi:

Well done, Brian. There are quite a few names on your list who were not in my cottage that I'd forgotten. Georgie Archer was in my cottage (#9). So too was Graham Hanson who was my best friend up until his leaving. Tony Wales was also in #9. David, his brother, finished up in #9 for a little while though I have a feeling he was housed elsewhere previously. Jimmy Pickering was an older boy but he finished up in #9 for a brief period for some reason or other. At times he was allowed to take off for the weekend on his own. I recall the evening that he came 'home' and told us about the Charles Chaplin movie Limelight that he'd seen over the weekend.

 

By the way, the Malcolm whose last name I couldn't recall previously is Malcolm Bragger. He isn't on your list. You say that John Kerry is quite sick? While it's difficult to imagine ANY of those boys as being anything else but 'young' in my memory I guess most of them would now be in their late 60's/early to mid 70's. Except for me, of course, who is still the same. :D

Hi Rodney, If you know of any boys name you could add them to your

thread, < Who knows who's looking in > did you see i have added

a few more boys names, Hey, nearly 80 names. :thumbsup:
