ANYONE REMEMBER LIZZIE SCOTT CASSIE? |
|
I am searching for anyone who knew my mother and my two sisters who stayed
in Bell Green, Coventry.
My mother died in 1968. She died of cancer when she was around 44 years
old. She originally came from the north of Scotland so she had a
distinctive Aberdonian accent. She was either living with or married to
a foreign gentleman. They had an older daughter called Ivory and a
younger one
who worked in hotels during the mid 70s.
My mother's name was Elizabeth (Lizzie) Scott Cassie. Her married name
was something that sounded like Buccari or Burracki, B????????
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can give me any information
if they can remember anyone with similar name. |

MEMORIES OF JOHN GULSON SCHOOL |
|
I attended John Gulson School from 1943 to 1947. At that time it was known
as John Gulson Central Advanced School. The students came from all parts
of Coventry and were selected because they were considered above
elementary school standard but not 'good enough' for the High/Grammar
schools such as Bablake and Henry 8th. The headmaster was 'Pip' LeQuesne.
It had four houses - Hereward, Godiva, Leofric and Mercier and the motto
was 'UPRIGHT AND THOROUGH'.
Some of the teachers were : Miss Moss, Mr Chisholm, Mr Morgan, Mr
'Piggy' Weale, Mr Sinclair, Mr 'Pop' Hindley(?) and Mr Wisdom (a GREAT
music teacher).
One of my classmates was Roy NOWELL who was recently honoured with an
MBE. |
