Hello, have just joined Bootle Times today, so sorry if sounding vague! I lived on Gloucester Road, Bootle and was wondering if anybody would remember the name of my father, Jimmy Parker. Going back to 1946.
Many thanks.

I lived very close to Hawthorne Rd School in Gloucester Rd opposite where it was bombed and where prefabs were put up - by German POWs as I remember. But I don't remember a Parker family. It is a lonnnnng road though.

Roberts, Allison are the Bootle names I'm interested in.
Thorp(e), Ballard, Parry, Lucas, Dodd, Jacobson, are Liverpool ancestors.

Hello ALAMO2008
You mentioned my hubby’s grandparents.
Alfred and Agnes (née O’Malley) Ericson. We used to visit her and decorated the hallway of 181 Gloucester Rd in 1966.
We went to visit her on our wedding day (1967) as she was bedridden and couldn’t come to wedding - she thought she had died and an angel had come for her (I was all dressed in white - my wedding dress and veil).
Our photo with her was the last one taken of her. I was pregnant with my first child when she died and members of the family said I couldn’t go to funeral because I was pregnant ???????? I was so upset.
What memories you have resurrected.

Hi Doreen
I always remember my mother forcing me to go to Nan Ericsons after school to do my homework, but she had a television then, so obviously homework didn't get done. I didn't like the house there was always an atmosphere on the stairs not helped by my mother telling me someone hung themselves there, and always having to use the outside toilet
Those were the days
