Rosetta Road, Basford, Nottingham

I’m searching for anyone who might have lived on Rosetta Road, Basford, Nottingham in the 1940s and who might remember a lady named Kate Buxton who lived at number 60. To cut a long story short, my grandmother, Joyce Goodwin, was sent there in 1943 to have her child (later adopted) and I would like to hear from anyone who lived in the area at that time and who remembers Kate (or indeed, Joyce).

Many thanks

Perry Road, Basford

I’m looking for people who knew Rita Hebden (1934-2017) in the 1950s. She had my mum in 1954 and put her up for adoption – the address on my mum’s birth certificate is 327 Perry Road, Basford.

I’ve written that the address on my mum’s birthday certificate is in Basford but I think she was sent there when she got pregnant and the rest of the family lived in Retford and Rita spent the rest of her life in Retford.

I am trying to piece together information around the time of my mother’s birth and I’d be very grateful if anyone can help me.

Many thanks,
