Did you know Roy Hallam who walked with a limp and sadly he died young. I didnt know that Fred Hallam went in the Manor Hotel I always thought he was a Monor Social man. I used to knock about with Roy and I also worked with Roy and His Father Fred on John St.Did you by any chance know Brian Slack who passed away not long ago, he was my cousin.

I'm sorry I do not remember Roy But I knew Fred senior well. I think young Fred probably did go to the Manor Social club as well but more than likely he went there with his Dad. The Manor hotel was more for the young folk. I also think Cleegirl would know more about that than I did.

It was Fred senior that I knew well, Roy and I used to see him in the Manor Club on a Sunday dinner, I think young Fred got divorced ( I may be wrong about that) I knew all the Family, Fred and Gladys and sons Fred,Brian,Roy and the youngest Roger.

Roy died when he was in his forties, I was told it was caused by drink but he did spend all his free time in the Manor Hotel.

Hello,

I am trying to find out about the Hudson family who lived on the Manor Estate until about 1931

They lived at 8 Ravencarr Road which I believe is no longer there.

The family comprised Ernest Hudson and his wife Annie Beatrice. They had 2 children, Ernest born 1921 and Alice born 1924 Ernest Jnr. was my father and I am anxious to find out what happened to him,which school he may have attended etc.

Does anyone know where I might find school entry and leaving records for the 1930's.

I realise it was a long time ago but please can anyone help?

Thank You

Veronica
