Can you help with more information about North St and the families that lived there.
Janet Iszatt is researching the Coley side of her family and in discussion with an elderly aunt they have the following questions and comments. Can you help or do you have memories of North St. and the people that lived there.
My great grandparents William and Martha (nee Brand) Coley lived at number 82 until their deaths in 1941. William died on 25th June, Martha on 11th Sept. Not sure when they moved there. On the1901 census they are living down Gas Terrace Crowland. On 1911 census they are living at 82 with 7 of their 11 children. So they lived there for at least 30 years. My aunt was born in 1926 and has many fond memories of visiting her grandparents house.
My aunt remembers a Mrs Warren living next door to them at number 80. To get to the outside toilet at the back of the house she had to go out of her front door, walk past my great grandparents house and turn left down a narrow passage way to get to the back yard. My aunt thinks she had a daughter who joined the Salvation Army and possibly went abroad.
