Waring/Stocker Family
My grandad Gillie (John Gilbert) Waring live at Rose Cottage, 172 $astham Rake with his wife Dorothy and their children Alan, Gillie, Wally and Dulice. I have vague memories of my dad going to Eastham to park his wagon at Eastham, why he did this I do not know as he then came home to Little Sutton. I think my grandad was in the haulage business and when the lads grew up they worked for him. After Grandad Waring died, my dad had a wagon of his own, nothing special from what I can remember, he started off on his own the same time as Denny Morgan now Morgan Plant Hire plc. My dad use to laugh because he and Denny knew each other, their trucks weren't up to much and Denny had string to hold his cab door on. How lucky Denny was with his business. My dad kept on with his wagon till work got bad and later in the 1970s he went and worked for Denny and did so till he passed away.

RE: RE: Waring/Stocker Family
My father Fred Taylor was a friend of "Gilly" Wearing many years ago, my father had one of the garages on the New Chester Road, and used to repair or help repair your grandfather's lorry. I remember him a little a quite tall man, or he appeared so, I would only be about 6-7 years old. I do think Gilly and my dad were also friends. My dad had a garage (which is now the HyundI showroom) and he was born and lived in Eastham most of his life, next door to us was another garage owned by Dolly Nichollls. I moved back to Eastham nearly 50 years ago. Rosemary

My husband and brother-in-law worked for Dennis Morgan in 1960s, he started with old army wagons, now his son is doing very well.

RE: RE: Waring/Stocker Family
Thanks Eileen for the comment, my dad "Alan" Waring started working on the wagons and was friends with Denny Morgen. Neither of them had much when the first started off, my dad used to laugh because Denny's cab door was ready to fall off and he tied it up with string as it did drop off ha! Glad Morgen's done so well, I can remember my family often talking about them, I had other family members who had their own wagons as well.
