It is believed that the family ran/owned a laundrette business. In 1880 he married Jane Ann Yates from Rostherne Village, Altrincham, cheshire.

Beginning of the Great Wiggenhall Wanderers A memory of Huntworth, Somerset How well I remember the forming of our local football team. It came about after everybody would play outside our local primary school, teams of twenty or more each side with ages ranging from small children to ancient grandparents right through summer months until late at night. It was decided at one such game that we should form a team. a meeting at one of the local pubs "Checkers" and a team evolved. Two team were formed one playing in Black & White stripes and one in orange and white. A ground was lierally manufacured on an apple field about a mile out of town with an old shack for changing purposes. What great times I remember watching the team play, of course I was too young, but that young wag Chenery got a game at an early age. Great times..Great Community..Sorely missed Posted: 23/09/2008 00:50 by Stephen Cook |

Majestic Cinema A memory of King's Lynn, Norfolk Wonderful memories of Saturday morning pictures - we would all line up outside the Majestic Picture House as it was called and monitors would walk up and down the line to make sure we were not too noisy and kept us in our place, for sixpence we would see cartoons and a feature film, cowboys or my favourite Flash Gordon, always a cliff hanger ending that brought you back the following week to see if he made it, which he always did, wonderful times, and I'm sure our parents loved Saturday mornings also, got us out of their hair for a few hours, money well spent.

My Christening A memory of King's Lynn, Norfolk On the 1st August 2006 I went to Kings Lynn for the first time since 1935, to visit St Margaret's Church. I was christened there 5th February 1935. My Grandfather lived at 14 Priory Lane Kings Lynn. Is there anyone who knew the Crook Family from that time? Noel Crook Last edited: 03/08/2006 19:43 by Noel Crook |
