D CLAIRE WHO I HAD A FIGHT WITH IN THE CAFE ( sorry). CANT WAIT TO HEAR FROM ANY OF YOU THAT REMEMBER ME.

!
We were evacuated to Nottingham, and there I started school. On our return to Southall both my sister and I went to North Road Infants/Primary and Junior School.

(Remember Mr Blanchard, Principal; Mrs Hanvey, Infants; Mr Rogers - (Of a new word every week and the slipper if you don't spell it, fame!); Miss Dors, (Dores?), the teacher who literally changed my life - thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

Both my sister and I sat and passed the 11+ and went from there to Southall Grammar School next to the park. After two years of misery for me I sat the Southall Grammar/Technical School entrance exam, and at the age of 13 started in that boys only school on Beaconsfield Rd.

If any of you reading this remember those days and want to resume contact with either my sister Pam or me, David - please e-mail me.

There are a lot of names in my past history - I remember some of them and wonder if anyone reading this remembers the 3-CH or 4-GN classes at Southall Technical School during the 1955/6/7 era.

(Remember Dr. Holroyd, Principal - "Get me 5 packs of Senior Service!"; V.C. Wall, Applied Mathematics; Mr Green, Mathematics; Mr Chant, Civics; etc?)

Here in the USA, class reunions are a big thing - which I had no knowledge of in the UK. Does anyone think this would be a good idea for the UK as well? Could we arrange a get together for say, the "graduating" class of 1957 from SGTS?

he air raid warning! Needless to say, we legged it indoors fast. The bombs fell in the Mornington Avenue and Crescent area, with quite a lot of damage. How German bombers got that far, apparently undetected, is a mystery to me. Does anyone out there have any information on this incident?

Hello, I was born in Southall in 1957, attended lady margaret until 1968, the went to Stanhope in Greenford until 1972 We lived at 36 Ascot gardens.

They both moved to Somerset but visited occasionally. They were such lovely people, unfortunately Sid passed away a few years ago. I also remember Mr & Mrs Mayo a couple of doors away, do you remember them?. Do you recall a young boy who served for the Navy but died during his service who lived on Dorell Close?

I think it was 1939 when it opened, we went to Dormers Wells Infant school initially. The old mind is improving through reading all this local information Re: Lady Margaret school and stanhope school by Malcolm McNally (Member 10078995) on 6-Nov-2002 I also went to Lady Margaret School when it opened in 1938/39, I am unsure about dates because I can remember gas masks being handed out at LMS to everyone just prior to the war. I can also remember that during the early part of the war, the school was closed to pupils. As an alternative, teachers "toured" a number of designated addresses to teach some 10 to 12 children who were allocated to thes e " centres of excellences " in their locality for about 2 to 3 hours lessons a day - as I lived in Selby Gardens, my "school" was in Westbury Avenus. ... more >> Re: Lady Margaret school and stanhope school by maynard (Member 10063441) on 8-Dec-2002 Hello everybody I was at LMS from the start.

Re: Lady Margaret school and stanhope school by Gerald Simpson (Member 10109152) on 2-Nov-2003 Just in case there is anyone interested in my last mail. I can tell you that my sister found the date of our evacuation to Burton on Trent. It was the 14th July 1944. She found this information from the local Burton newspaper who sent her a copy of her photograph from the front page! That solves another part of the family history. regards Maynard Re: Lady Margaret school and stanhope school by Yvonne Butler (Member 10237916) on 5-Jul-2009 where did they go to infant junior before lms opened 1938..have it that dormers primaries did not open till 1954.and is long way from lady marg school

TRACING MY FAMILY (JELLYMAN / STOKES / SEWARD)	by Marian Jellyman (Member 10001953) on 20-Aug-1999
I am trying to trace my ancestors who lived in Southall from about 1900 - 1960. I have some information but cannot research the IGI as Southall is not on that. Is there a local Genealogy Society in Southall? Re: TRACING MY FAMILY (JELLYMAN / STOKES / SEWARD) by Frank Aldridge (Member 10057358) on 29-Jan-2002 I may be able to help my cousin married a Jellyman and I played football with her brother. Both got married in St Johns. Their mum ran a shoe shop down Western Road. If this rings any bells maybe I can you. Re: TRACING MY FAMILY (JELLYMAN / STOKES / SEWARD) by maynard (Member 10063441) on 25-Mar-2002 We know the name Jellyman because my wife worked with a young lady with the surname Jellyman at Dorothy Perkins in the High Street. When we moved away to Chalvey near Slough, my wife's friend moved to Windsor, possibly Albert Street or Albert Road. Re: TRACING MY FAMILY (JELLYMAN / STOKES / SEWARD) by maynard (Member 10063441) on 25-Mar-2002 Sorry, I did not make the first message clear regarding dates. My wife worked at Dorothy Perkins from about 1948 to the middle 50's. We married in 1957 and moved to Chalvey in 1964 and Ms Jellyman was still in Windsor in about 1966 Re: TRACING MY FAMILY (JELLYMAN / STOKES / SEWARD) by Kay McLoughlin (Member 10134272) on 26-Oct-2004 Hi Marian I have just been going through the southall bit on this site with my folks and great aunt who are all old southallians and they recognised the Jellyman name.

WW-II time and later - living in Southall.	by David Willson (Member 10001041) on 28-Jul-1999
I was born in Paddington in July 1939 and my parents moved several times, finally settling in Southall after my paternal grandparents (I think!) died. I remember parts of the war - the brick built air raid shelters in the road, the Anderson shelter in the back garden of our house on Carlyle Avenue, the Morrison shelter in the living room where my sister and I slept and frequently bruised our heads ! We were evacuated to Nottingham, and there I started school. On our return to Southall both my sister and I went to North Road Infants/Primary and Junior School. (Remember Mr Blanchard, Principal; Mrs Hanvey, Infants; Mr Rogers - (Of a new word every week and the slipper if you don't spell it, fame!); Miss Dors, (Dores?), the teacher who literally changed my life - thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! Both my sister and I sat and passed the 11+ and went from there to Southall Grammar School next to the park. After two years of misery for me I sat the Southall Grammar/Technical School entrance exam, and at the age of 13 started in that boys only school on Beaconsfield Rd. If any of you reading this remember those days and want to resume contact with either my sister Pam or me, David - please e-mail me. There are a lot of names in my past history - I remember some of them and wonder if anyone reading this remembers the 3-CH or 4-GN classes at Southall Technical School during the 1955/6/7 era. (Remember Dr. Holroyd, Principal - "Get me 5 packs of Senior Service!"; V.C. Wall, Applied Mathematics; Mr Green, Mathematics; Mr Chant, Civics; etc?) Here in the USA, class reunions are a big thing - which I had no knowledge of in the UK. Does anyone think this would be a good idea for the UK as well? Could we arrange a get together for say, the "graduating" class of 1957 from SGTS? ... more >> Re: WW-II time and later - living in Southall. by Marian Jellyman (Member 10001953) on 17-Aug-1999 Hi - I lived in Southall 1936 - 1960 including during the war. If anyone is interested I have written quite a bit about my experiences then. We have been living in Tasmania since 1970 - web site http://www.view.com.au/oldrectory. Re: WW-II time and later - living in Southall. by Alan Ansell (Member 10052800) on 15-Jan-2002 HI Marion: I was born and lived in Marlborough Road from 1939 to 1960, and also have many memories about the war. I would be interested to be in contact with you. Maybe we can find some old friends we might both know. I attended Western Road primary school from 1944 to 1950 and then Featherstone Road Sercondary Boys School from 1950 to 1954. Now living in Toronto, canada. Re: WW-II time and later - living in Southall. by Michael Braden (Member 10097376) on 4-Jun-2004 An unusual incident from the summer of 1940 has come back to me. One day, I was home from school(Dormers Wells)for lunch, amd my mother was in the garden talking to our neighbour. There was the sound of aircraft overhead, but as there had been no air raid warning, we took no notice. A few minutes later, anti-aircraft guns suddenly opened fire, and then there was the sound of falling bombs-then t he air raid warning! Needless to say, we legged it indoors fast. The bombs fell in the Mornington Avenue and Crescent area, with quite a lot of damage. How German bombers got that far, apparently undetected, is a mystery to me. Does anyone out there have any information on this incident? ... more >> Re: WW-II time and later - living in Southall. by Len Goddard (Member 10234853) on 19-May-2009 Hello Mike that incindent you mentioned regarding Mornington Rd. you will be able to read it in the book No 57 was demolished they sprayed the road with machine gun fire as I said you will enjoy the contents of the book also the Hess story is in there.
