Joan, my ex hub's mum went to Maltby street school, but she was born a while before you, in 1934, she and her sister lived on Brompton Road, their name was Sykes.

 

My aunt lived round the corner from Newhall Road, on the Brightside end, on Fleet Street, from 1966 to 1972(ish) when that area was cleared.

There was a Roy Allsop at Newhall in the 1940s. His family lived in one of the squares just off Alfred Road --not far from the end of Castor Road. Roy had a younger sister, and maybe other brothers and sisters. But nobody has heard anything of them for many years.

The only person I knew called Allen was Rita Allen, who was in our class at Newhall in the late 1940s. She was a fairly tall girl with hair tied back in a bun, I think. She was a lovely lass, very intelligent, but I think her family left the Newhall district when she was 12 or 13. I once saw her on Pitsmoor Road a few years after she had left Newhall, but I never bumped into her again, and I have often wondered what became of her. I think someone suggested she had once worked in Sheffield market. When we were having a reunion in 2005 I tried to find her, but didn't succeed.

Reg Allen and his sisters Marjorie and Margaret might get to hear that you have been asking about them on this site, so don't give up hope.
