My Great Grandmother had two brothers who lived in Newington or Walworth, South London. This would be the area between Camberwell and Kennington to the South and The Elephant and Castle and The Borough, Southwark to the North. They were born around 1843, and lived around that area till the after 1911. They married three of Joshua Joseph Johnson's daughters, Elizabeth, Mary Ann and Frances. William Buckland first married Elizabeth, and when she died, her younger widowed sister Frances became his housekeeper, and later became his 2nd wife. William's younger brother Frederick married the other sister Mary Ann Johnson. Mary Ann died within a few years, so Frederick married an Alethea Debenham as his 2nd wife. Obviously, in those days and that family, marrying relations was a good idea. It was preferable for the husband & children after the wife or mother's death, as they already new their Aunts. The brothers both were Bakers, so perhaps the Johnson family were really impressed by their bread?

Just a note to let you know I have never forgotten you, having been born in 1962 in Greater Manchester but lived in Queens Road (now Queenston Road) and despite leaving in 1967 due to my poor health, you will always hold a special place in my heart. How I remember my Nan taking down to the station every day so I could watch the trains, how I loved them at that young age, how I cried my little heart out when the line closed, I didn't understand why the nice man wouldn't let me into the station anymore, why the track went rusty, why they took the track away, the thought of my trains not being around upset me deeply, so much so that I ended up in Wythenshwe hospital, pining for my trains, "Why can't I see them any more, Nan?". When the station was demolished I cried too, when I came back to see my old childhood memories I cried again! Oh Didsbury - what have they done to you? I love you so much, and I miss your terribly, but things just aren't the same any more, too many changes, too much pain! But I will always love you Didsbury! Thank you for being a part of me.

I stayed with my Nan and Grandad who lived in Eustace Road so school holidays I used to help Charlie the blacksmith. His forge was in Back Lane which is a Roman road.
My Nan did beautiful embroidered table cloths amongst other things so I remember Embersons, haberdashery where my nan bought her silks. I also remember Perks food shop, Lens the greengrocers in Station Road, Matthews animal feed shop where my nan worked, Carters the butcher and I remember Woolworths being built? I also remember going to Susies Grill in Station Road.
When I was about 11 my parents moved to Kenneth Road. I used to go to Saturday Morning pictures, wonderful memories.
