Anyone from Wallace Rd or Pickering Rd Parkwood Springs

[twosedgwicks]

Hi all

 

Sorry for joining this thread so late

 

My grandfather was the Jack Sedgwick who had the cobblers shop on Douglas Road mentioned by muntjac. Jack lived on Wallace Road opposite his parents in law Charles and Lucy Self.

 

Jack's wife was Florence Self, who was the aunt of Russell Self, mentioned by several people earlier in this thread

 

I have been working on my family history and tree, with help from my Dad, also Jack Sedgwick, and would love to hear from anyone who knew the Sedgwick or Self families or has photos of the area from the 20s and 30s

Thanks Retep for the photo link - shows Wallace Road quite clearly

 

Thanks also for the extract from the 1925 directory - all the people listed are my family

 

Earlier in the thread muntjac and dutchpeter said they were related to the Sedgwicks or Selfs - and several others said they knew them - interested to know if anyone has any photos of the street or these families

 

Thanks again.

Would you like me to put you in touch with Russell Self ?

Hi Muntjac

 

Thanks for the offer and I would really like to contact Russell Self

 

My contact details are twosedgwicks@yahoo.com.au

 

Did you say previously that Jack Sedgwick who had the cobblers shop on Douglas Road was your uncle ? He was my grandfather, so I would also like to discuss family history with you through my direct email link - I would be happy to share all my family tree work with you if you are interested

 

Thanks for the help Howard

You'd be better off aiming that question at PopT on this thread, who seems to have worked with him and may give you some info, my recollection of Ben was

he was an easy going quiet fella and always polite.

 

I think that when they moved to Pickering it would have possibly been to a relatives house or next door Alf Eadon he would have remarried and moved out.

I worked in the steelworks with a Bennie Matthews an Irish lad who was keen on horse racing and a great fella.

 

I believe he lived on Douglas Road.

 

Does anyone remember him and how he faired in life.

 

I do hope he had a great win.

 

Happy Days!
