Nelly Ward, My Great Grandmother

A Memory of Cleator Moor.

My Mum, Marilyn, was brought up in Cleator Moor, mostly by her Grandma, Nelly Ward. She had a sister called Kathy; their father was a GI! Wondered if anyone remembered Nelly, apparently she was a great character.

Comments & Feedback

I remember Nelly very well. A very large woman, in contrast with her husband, Francie, who was quite small. She was extremely generous and always had a kind for me, every time I met her. I also remember your mother, Marilyn. We were pupils at St Patrick's Infant School at the same time, though I was a year or so older.

That's great! I'll tell my Mum. She has great memories of Nelly looking out for her, especially if there were any bullies!x

Do you have any old photos? My Mum would love photos as there don't seem to be many she can find. I am on facebook if you like....Becky Lingwood from Elvington, York
