I was born in 38 Chester Street (Krauses used to be on the top corner of the street).
M Bainbridge (Spike) is in our family.
One of Hornigolds used to be my cousins friend (Wally Pursey). Apparently he emigrated to Sydney, Australia as cousin caught up with him (not sure if he stayed though). Cousin lives in Wollongong, NSW.
Massinghams are our family (married into Wilson family).
There's a photograph of Robinsons fish shop, before it got pulled down, in a Cargo Fleet group on Facebook, posted by one of the daughters.
my aunt was married to Kenneth scurr she lived in Elmstreet they had a son named keith , ken was my uncle and he was in the navy
