Huskisson Street, Grange Road area - 1900 on - 29th Jun 2017 4:33am
Hi
I have only just found this site - so I am still exploring - thanks for this!
I was born in 1939 - at 2 Huskisson Street. The youngest of a large family of eleven - the Goodalls. My father was William and my mother Martha (nee Farley) but known to all as Molly - or 'Ninny Goodall' to all her many grandchildren.
Sadly, only one of my sisters (Jean) is still living - and is now 90. I am 78.
I am trying to write up some of our family - and local history - for my two daughters who grew up in Scotland (where my dad was born.
Obviously none of this area now exists! Some years ago I visited a cafe in the Pyramids - which was just about the area my bedroom had been when I was born!
So, I am trying to find as much local information as I can - about the area, local families - and especially if there are any members of the Goodall family - or the related Graham, Farley, Davies or Foster families - who read this wiki. I would like to make contact with anyone - or anyone who attended St John's Primary between 1944 and 1950 or Rock Ferry High between 1950 and 1958 - where I attended.
In particular I would like to source some local photos - especially of St John's Church, Grange Road in this era, St John's Primary School and Rock Ferry High
When I find out how - and if it is permitted - I can add my email address
Thanks
Alan Goodall
