Memories of South Humberside
The Lee Family
John Lee lived in Frodingham in the 17th century (poss16th century), he was a cabinet maker.
Hollidays
This picture shows Hollidays livery. I am George Holliday's great grand daughter. My aunt used to talk about where the shop was and while I don't remember it, I do remember her talking about it. It was fascinating to find this picture, which ties in exactly with what she said!
Great Grandad's House
My great grandad lived and worked on the right of this photo. I'm not 100\% sure which house but the location fits with census returns and what I've been told. The sign may say his name, I can't make it out clearly enough to be certain.
This Brings Back Such Lovely Memories
I was really shocked but pleased to find this photo - it is of my mum and nana in 1955 on Scunthorpe's High Street - we lived in Allanby Street. I was 10 years old when this picture was taken - it has brought back fond warm memories thank you - Linda.
1876 Drowning of my Great Grandfather
I recently visited Goole in search of records of my maternal ancestry. I discovered that my great grand father Bernard Knowles Brook and his 6-yr-old son George from Goole were drowned at Keadby on 9 July 1876. I understand that his wife and probably also my then 1-yr-old grandfather Matthew Moorhouse Brook were nearby on the "Eagle" when the drowning occurred from a small boat from the "Eagle".
I would like to know more about what happened. Is it possible that they were affected by the bore? The records in a Goole newspaper suggest that a strong wind gust overturned the boat at the time when a strong current was running.
Any further information on Bernard Brook and his family and particularly about Matthew Moorhouse Brook would be most welcome.
