Grindrod Family
A Memory of Failsworth.
My Great Grandparents, Jim and Elizabeth Grindrod, lived at 10 Sydney Street, along with my Grandfather, Brian Grindrod, and my Great Great Grandparents, Michael York and Lily York.
From the 1930s- late 1940s, Jim was a Grocer's Assistant at a Grocer's off Mather Street.
He later became a bus driver in the 50s, then worked as a warehouseman at Littlewoods mail order, Marlborough Mill.
In the 50s Jim and Elizabeth moved out of Sydney St and into Alan Avenue where they lived for a few years before moving back into Sydney St. Jim died in 1974 aged 58 and Elizabeth died in 1995 aged 80.
Here are some names of people, please get in touch if you recognise any: Jim Grindrod, Elizabeth Grindrod, Brian Grindrod, Ann Walker, Arthur York, Joe York, Lily Kershaw/Hawkins, Mary Lomas, Herbert Lomas, Jason Walker, Bob Kershaw, Tom Hawkins.
