[quote author=mez link=board=new;num=1070963019;start=0#14 date=12/13/03 at 15:44:08]hi darby, i used to live in oswald st, church in the fifties, my last name is clarkson, i have an older brother & one younger than me , that is my maiden name , do you remember billy fenton, the mcgouchlin brothers, mavis& kieth livesey, barbara & anne johnson, sandra long, if so you may remember me & my brother bernard we used to play on t tampits to well good luck & this is a brill & friendly site not been on long myself c/y [smiley=bye2.gif]from mary [/quote]

Mavis and Keith Livesey I can remember (Mavis always seemed to give me a thump - maybe I was a bad'un).  Billy Fenton was my best mate when I went to Church Kirk school.  Haven't seen him for more than 25 years.

I think I remember your brother Bernard....yes it's coming back bit by bit.  I was only 18 months old when we moved to Oswald Street from Burnley and we moved to 25 Henry Street when I was 4(Fred Kirkham bought the house from us when we moved to India Street about 1951/2).

My best friend was Fred Parkinson... Freddy Twamtwacks (we use to go and sit at the corner of Church Commercial and watch the trams).  Freddy had a slight lisp and could only call them Twams on't Twacks.

He had a sister called Brenda who I saw about 12 years ago.  She told me that Fred had died....Shame ....he was a nice lad.

I aim to go in the Tanpits (now the Plough I believe) when I come over next weekend.  But I've got to go to the Rovers with my eldest lad, and then pick-up the Grandchildren from Glasgow on Sunday,  So it'll have to be Monday or Tuesday.  Still I look forwards to walking round Church and Ossy, I always seem to meet somebody I know.

It's a very friendly site..but what else would you expect from Accy, Ossy, and Church folks.
