Hi

Do you know when your family moved to Derbyshire?
Mine went the same direction, from Springfield to Arkwright Town around 1925. Grandpa was an out of work miner who was given a choice between Australia or Derbyshire! So I was born in Chesterfield rather than wherever it is they mine coal in Australia

yeah he came over by all accounts after the war ,he never went back to Rowley Regis he met my grandmother ...settled in holmewood

Ok, enough already! This section is supposed to be for simple introductions, and I'll allow a certain amount of banter although that ought to be the preserve of The Snug.
Keith, if you have any specific info you're looking for please post it in the relevant section, not in Introductions.
