I
am trying to obtain info about my mother Gertrude Pearson's
family. Born 1921 to Mary Ann Hughes & Frank Pearson. Lived
on Manchester St. She was adopted in '29 by Frederick &
Emma Pearson of Norman Ave., Birkby. Friends were Betty &
Connie Walker. Mum's memory is going fast so I'm trying to write
a family history before it's too late. I know it was a long
time ago but if any one has any info please email me with Gertie
as the subject so I will recognise it. Thanks. |

If
you have read the February edition of "Bill's News letter
from America" you will see that I mentioned Goitfield Boys
School in Longwood and referred to my PE Teacher Mr. Wally Heap.
Question: Is there anyone out there who attended Goitfield in
the late 1930s and if so does anyone remember Mr. Heap, Miss
Barnes, and the headmaster at that time who's name I believe
was Mr. Morton. Just a shot in the dark to see if there are
still any people still alive who attended or was associated
with the school during that time frame. |

I
would love to hear from any of my old schoolmates that attended
Spring Grove School on Water/Bow Streets between 1940-49/50.
I know we are getting along in years, but I hope that some
of them are alive and kicking and I would like to talk over
old school days, teachers, and find out what happened to them
in the 53 years since we parted company.
Either e-mail me at: quill@libby.org
or write me at:

One brings back many fond memories during the years I spent
there as a student from 1963 to 1967. I studied at Huddersfield
College, during that time I was a foreign student from Egypt.
I would love to hear from any of my old friends that might still
be in Huddersfield.
I have traveled many places no place have I found that matches
the hospitality and of the Yorkshire people. |

I
now reside in Vancouver, Canada where I suspect they will bury
me. I was born in Huddersfield in 1941 and departed in 1956.
I attended Spring Grove School and would love to hear from any
one who remembers me. I would be interested in hearing from
2 lost cousins - both sisters Jean & Margaret. They used
to live in the Golcar area. |

Hi
There, I am not an expat, but the daughter of one. My mother,
Phyllis Blackie, daughter of John and Emily Blackie arrived
in Australia in 1955. She sailed out on the Arcadia arriving
in Port Adelaide and then caught the Minnipa to Port Lincoln.
She then caught the rail car to a tiny place in remote rural
South Australia called Wudinna to reunite with her sister Joan
who had married an Australian she had met in the UK during WW2.
Of course Mum married and I am the first of three children.
A lot has happened since then, but I guess as Mum is now older
she seems very keen to hear more about her "roots".
Hence, here I am with a few spare moments surfing the net tracking
down anything that might interest her. Have found details about
the Baptist Church at Salendine Nook, Moor Hill Rd where she
played a lot as a child and New Hay Road Outlane where her parents
lived in their final years. |

Years ago, my family and I moved to Australia from Huddersfield
as you may have guessed, and basically since I arrived i've
been trying to track down my friend Laura. I don't know there's
a site that I can find her on but I do know that her family
used to own a pub and I know which pub it is. I've been searching
high and low but nothing...
If
anyone can help, please email me or whatever... |

I
seek help in locating an old acquaintance of mine by the name
of
Ms Janet Senior, who was from Huddersfield.
We were friends way back in late 1977 early 1980's when she
used to work for Jualiana's, on contract to The Marco Polo
Hotel's "the Club" here in Singapore.
(Previous postings before Singapore were Lanserote (sp) then
Sharjah I think)
If
anyone can offer any directions, I would surely appreciate
it loads. Thank you. Cheers! |

Hi
Huddersfield people!
Recently I came across a cased firearm engraved "Captain Joseph
Walker Huddersfield" and wondered if anyone there had any
knowledge of this man.
I
would estimate he would have lived around the WW1 WW2 period
(1917 to 1945). I can not find any information on the net
so hope you may be able to give me a pointer as to where to
research or even if he was known as a prominent person in
the Huddersfield area.
Many
thanks,
Regards Reg Milson (Wellington New Zealand)

Many
of my forebears are from the Huddersfield area being involved
in the woollen industry as warpers, weavers &c. These were:
Isaac Brown (1769-?),John Brown (1797-?), Henry Brown (1819-?),
James Turner Brown (1855-?). They married into the Poskitt,
Thorp, Wimpenny, Turner and Castle families. They lived in such
areas as: Upper Agbrigg, Wooldale, Cliffe, Scholes, Upperthong,
Birstall (Batley) and Kirkburton (to name a few). Are there
any Brown's out there who are related to my Brown family line?
Would
love to hear from you! |
