Hi Mary Have a good holiday. Will be interested in outcome of marriage cert. My auntie used to live in Nelson Street around 1945, down a little alley beside the Nelson pub so I can well remember it. Cottages with little back yards. The Nelson was a grotty old pub where the lorry drivers used to go for their smoke and food. Regards Dawn dawn.cumbley@virgin.net ----- Original Message -----
