Derbyshire memories
Two Dales
I lived in the house on the right (Hazel House) just before the bakery from 1958-1988. Many memories of there. Anyone with any memories of Two Dales, please don´t hesitate to contact.
Tax Farm, Two Dales
My parents and older sisters Margaret, Cynthia, Brenda and Christine lived at Tax Farm, Two Dales in the late 1930s - early 1940s - surname Taylor. They attended Darley Dale School and have very fond memories of being there.
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.

Visiting Youlgrave
My husband and I visited Youlgrave earlier this year as i am researching my family history and my 3 x g. grandma and grandad were married in this church. Her name was Martha Staley and his name was Joseph Goodall and they married in 1846. It is a beautiful church and village, and we hope to visit again. As we walked into the church there was an old lady doing some cleaning there, and we told her of our quest. She was most helpful as she had lived there all of her life, and she told us of a Francis Staley who had left some land to the church when he died. Also the graveyard was full of Staleys, probably all related. The old lady lived just accross from the church, and invited us into her home for a cup of coffee! She had a very old white poodle, which i think was called Sparky, and she told us lots of things. The... Read more
Beautiful Memories
Dear people of Youlgreave,
In the summer of 1970 we visited Youlgreave. We were there on a holiday and we had a magnificent time up there. We stayed at the house of grandma and dad from my friend Chris Sol, who was born in Youlgreave. His sister Cathrin and her friend were also there.
The name of the grandparents was Oldfield. I am still living in Holland, I am married and we have three children. We live in a place called Hoofddorp, that's about 15 miles from Amsterdam.
It was my first holiday and I will never forget it. Within a few years we will visit Youlgreave again, but then as a granddad and ma. We have three grandchildren
Hope to see you in 2007 or 2008.
P.S. There was a girl in 1970, which I met. Her name was Patricia Smith. How is she doing at the moment. I hope she is still alive.
Kindly regards,
