MY DAUGHTERS

The Beach c1965
| More about this photo

MY TWO DAUGHTERS ELSIE AND EUNICE AND THEIR FRIEND MARY YOUNG ARE THE CHILDREN ON THIS PHOTOGRAPH. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON THE 'LITTLE SHORE' AND THEY WERE TRYING TO KEEP THE INCOMING TIDE OUT OF THEIR SANDCASTLE. THEY ALL HAVE GROWN UP FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN NOW. 42 YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THAT DAY.

I would just like to ask if anyone remembers Mrs Lungren of 10 Leazes Street, Amble? She lived there around the 1940s.

Amble - Where I Was Born

The Beach c1965
| More about this photo

May Lundgren was my grandmother, married to Alfred Edward (old Ed), who was in the Air Force during the war. My father is also Alfred Edward (young Eddie), born 1931 who now lives in Alnwick with my mother Irene, formerly Walker, from East Chevington. I was born in Gordon Street in 1955, just next to the beach photo that you posted. I now live in Hertfordshire, nearly 300 miles south. May lived at 10 Leazes Street until she died in 1974 and Ed lived there until he died in 1991. How did you know May and did you know my great grand parents, Adolf and Hannah, who also lived at 10 Leazes Street before Ed and May, when it was a fish & chip shop?

Grandma

My grandma Annie Moody lived in Amble as a child. She was born in 1897 but I think they lived somewhere else first, but she and her parents are on the 1901 cencus as living in Amble. My mother (her daughter) Mary Maddison nee Stewart has many happy memories of visiting her granny and grandad there too. Before 1966 when I and my family lived up north at Seghill we took our summer holidays at a caravan park in Amble and I have happy memories of being there. Since 1966 I have lived in Stoke-on-Trent and have only visited Amble once in that time. Now at the age of 48 I'm looking into my past and hope to soon come to visit Amble again with my husband and children to show them a little of my heritage. I hope they like Amble as much as I did. If anyone has any information about my Amble relatives I would love to hear it. My great-grandfather was named Thomas Moody and he... Read more
