Cheshire memories
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.

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.

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

1891 Census
My uncle's grandmother, Mary Solan, is recorded as living at 99 High Legh with six children and two lodgers. Does the address refer to a street of the same name as the village? Are there any pictures that would show this address?
