My Robinson Family And Their Memories c. 1830-1848
My only memory of Rostherne lives through my ancestors memories of their life their. My gr gr gr gr grandfather George Sheldon Robinson and his wife Mary (White) robinson christened several of their children there before going to Canada sometime around 1838 or shortly after. They left before the 1841 census evidently. Was hoping to find if Sheldon was born there or did him and his wife just simply reside there with their children. Christenings are as follows: would love info:
Alfred Sheldon Robinson 4/1/1827
Mary Robinson 5/10/1829
Eliza Robinson 7/25/1830
George Sheldon robinson 10/19/1834
Frederik Robinson 10/19/1834

Oughtrington Hall
I was in the first group of Lymm Grammar School students to move to Oughtrington Hall in 1945/46. Later, perhaps 1952/53, we established cricket at the school and played matches against other Cheshire Grammar Schools there - all very pleasant memories. I also played cricket for the Oughtrington Park club before I moved to the south of England and then played at Bickley Park in Kent.
Burford Lane, Broomedge
My husband and his cousins were born in Burford Lane over 70 years ago and the pictures are just as the lane is now except that cars may be seen parked. In the 1950s there used to be a taxi business at the top of the road and the soldiers who were stationed at High Legh Camp were their constant customers. There was a butcher (Mr. Gregory) and next to him a fish and chip shop which Alice Walker owned. Lower down the lane, Mr. Davies owned the Post Office where everything was available from a library to lace and cotton etc. as well as bread and other food. Mabel was so patient with the children who went in to do their mum's shopping with a note, to the old ladies who just really went for a chat and a sit down on the seat which was always provided for their use.
When I was a child there was a village hall down Chapel Walks and we used to... Read more
Lymm Parochial C of E School
We moved to Lymm from Altrincham soon after the war when my mother remarried (she was a war widow). It was lovely having a new Council house which had a bathroom and inside toilet - I had been used to an outside toilet and going to my grandma's for baths.
The school was just further down the road and Miss Nutley was our teacher and Mr Davies the headmaster. They worked really hard with us to get as many as possible to pass the scholarship to the Grammar School. The infants' school was next door to the junior school and I remember Miss Dalton and Miss Milne were the teachers and Miss Hatton the headmistress. There were two playgrounds - one for the boys and the other for the girls. The toilets were at the top of the playground. The school caretaker lived in a house which was situated between the two schools. We had a coal fire in our classroom and the milk was put near it in... Read more
Oughtrington Infants
I went to Oughtrington Infants and Oughtrington Juniors between 1968 and 1974. I do not recall to two schools being next door to each other with the caretakers house in between? The Infants was on Sandy Lane opposite the Post Office, the Headmistress was Mrs Green. The Juniors was further up on the corner of the Crescent, the Headmatster was Mr Winstanley. As a child I lived at 34 Hopefield Road, I moved away in 1982.
