1940s Courting Days

A Memory of South Kirkby.

Not really a memory of my own, but my father remembers going out with a young lady from South Kirby called Violet Shaw who lived on Clockrow Grove. Does anyone know of her and what she did with her life? I think he says she went to be a nurse. Also, a grt-grandfather on my mother's side, Cuthbert Dunbar, died as a result of an accident at the pit in 1902. His name is on the memorial. I took my dad for a run out when I went to see the memorial and it was then he talked about Violet Shaw. He remembered exactly where to go, after 70-odd years!
