Wonderful Memories

A Memory of South Ockendon.

My name is Jean WHILEY, previously Clark, I lived in Cherwell Grove on the Belhus Estate with my 2 brothers, Jim and Dave and my Mum and Dad. I went to the Huts school for a short time before going to Somers Heath and then onto Culverhouse Girls from 1962 to 1966. I have such happy memories of growing up in South Ockendon, couldn’t of had a better childhood anywhere. I married Ken WHILEY back in 1969, anyone remember any of us.

Comments & Feedback

Dear Mrs Whiley, my name is Ray. I live in Gidea Park, but previously residing in East Ham. I am trying to find an old friend of mine, who lived in Daiglan Drive. We are both in our early seventies now and have been in touch for about 50 years or so. My memories are vague and the only information I have to go by, is that she was of Irish/Indian decent and that her father was killed in a tragic accident at Tunnel Cement works around 1965/67. I think she had a sister called Thelma, but not sure of the name. I am not sure if she was from a Catholic family and if so, was there a Catholic School in Ockendon? This is a long shot, but who knows, there may be a snippit of
information to work from. Thank you
