Derbyshire memories

My Dad

My dad was born in Hackney, London in 1922. Named Arthur Lawrence Gibbs, son of William Arthur Gibbs. My grandad came to Australia in 1925 with my grandma and with 3 or 4 children pioneed a farm in Northcliffe in Western Australia. I myself have been to England but only once in my life(I was born in 1953). My son and my daughter have both visited the fair country and spent a lot of time there and have been to the old Hackney. I have not been there, and if anyone can help me with any memories or stories I would be forever grateful. Raymond John Gibbs.  Your's in trust, take care.

Looking For Wartime Friend

Hi, I am looking for a Mrs H. Higbee ( Claire) who was friends with my grandfather during the Second World War. Based on the info I have, she must have working in one of the USO clubs. Her address was 2 Aden Grove, Green Lanes, N16 Stoke Newington, London. Any advice to help me find her would be greatly appriciated. My grandfather has passed away and I would like to hear about his time in wartime London. Thanks, Don Morrison

Lived further down the road in the village, the semi-detached house on the left. The first was occupied by the Bowlers, newsagents, next door the Waterfall Bros. I helped at the farm to the right for a bit of pocket money. The farmer was Jim Topliss, his daughter, Jackie & husband Albert, son Mark. Many happy memories. The village is not the same now the farmyard is now houses, cars parked everywhere, we had the best I'm sure.

MY GREAT GRANDAPRENTS

My Great Grandfather Geo. B. Barton established a hydrotherapy business in Matlock Bank in the late 1800s. I believe the first was Jackson House, then he built Dalefield House(later Lilybank) His daughter, my Grandmother, emigrated to New Zealand. I am interedsted in any photos of the above, information etc. I believe he is buried in a local cemetery. If anyone has any information please contact me at barber@world-net.co.nz  Thank you

Passing Through

Matlock is a very pretty place, I remember stopping off at Matlock on our way to Nottingham when I was 8 years old.  I remember so well how pretty the place was, the dales, hill sides the scenery, just beautiful.
