It was Edward Hobson who was sadly killed outside Stand house, I lived next door to him. Pehaps you may remember my brothers, Alan and Brian Turner. Pat and Marie Ellis played with my eldest daughter Susan. Are we in the same generation I am 74.

Hi,

I have just joined and have found your posting. I am looking for information about my fathers' family who lived at 8 Ravencarr Road about 1930.

They were Ernest and Annie Beatrice HUDSON and they had 2 children Ernest Jnr.(my father) and Alice.

I would be very grateful if you have any knowledge of them

Thanks

Veronica

Greetings All,

I wonder if all you Manorites can remember a family called Martin who lived at 68? Fairfax Road? That was on t'other side of Prince of Wales road to where I lived; 3 Fairfax, until I was 6 (1946 to 52). The lady, Doris, was my aunt and I am trying to trace my Martin cousins, whom I have never met; despite the previous proximity of our homes. Her eldest son, William Henry, was the best man at my father's wedding and was only a few years younger.

Can anyone help me please.

Regards,

Bob Webster.

PS I went to Standhouse for 2 years before moving to Handsworth.

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

 

They would almost certainly have attended Stand House Junior School or Pitsworth Junior. After Eleven they would have attended Prince Edwards Senior School or Pitsworth Road School both on Prince of Wales Road. I was too young to remember them but I do hope someone will come on board to let you know.

I was the one who remembered the day that the Telegram boy called at your ' Grandmothers ' with the news that Harold was alive but a Prisoner of War in the Far East (Japanese).

I can remember the whole street joying in the good news. It was like a Street Party with out any food!!

 

I can also remember that sometime afterwards when Harold arrived home he took off his shirt to have a wash and I could see the marks where he had been either lashed or whipped.

 

I was with Edwin Hobson when he was killed by a street grate lorry, Though I must have been very young I can remember a man throwing his coat over him.

I hope sincerely that I do not ever see that ever again.

RAYZOR1 - write down all the names and address numbers of all those that you can remember living on or around the bottom of Windy House Lane. It would be usefull.
