John and Doris Clark (nee Collins)

My first question I asked on forum in 2010 was if anyone knew a John and Doris Clark nee (Collins), they lived at Tile Hill and worked at Bushills, as I was trying to find them for my wife as she was her bridesmaid in the late 50s, We found the photos of her wedding day, my wife is on the left. You know the saying (you can take a girl out of Coventry)

Isn't it a small world. I knew Doris when we were both tots and living in Lime Tree Ave, Tile Hill. She may have been just a little older as it looks as if she was married before I was. If you are out there Doris, I hope you have been as lucky in life as I have. Good luck Dougie. I hope you can catch up with her, and it is so true - you can take a girl out of Coventry but . . .

Same here Dreamtime, thanks for your reply we would love to met up with them again sometime, that's if they are still around as they will be 77/78 now, you never know what life has in store for you, we've tried many times over the years to find them through our family members living in Coventry with no luck they could be living anywhere in the world as far as we know. Anyway they made a very nice couple when we knew them in the 60s, they did come up to Wigan to visit but at that time it wasn't that easy to keep in touch even by phone

If you are lucky enough to catch up Dougie, ask her if she remembers Margaret Rice, another one of our little playmates. We all lived in the same street. Do you know, I remember those days as if they were yesterday. Thank the Lord I have a good memory but ask me where I left the tea towel then I have to backtrack!

I know it's a long shot Dreamtime but this could put the HC Forum members to the test , as you've put the name of the street you both lived in as children I've looked on Google Streets it's a bit of a POSH area round there you never know she may have inherited her mothers house and still live there do you know the number, when we go to the crem at Christmas we'll have a look round you never know, I asure you they would both be glad to see us after all this time

Not sure if this link will help, Dougie

I'll have a look, thanks morgana Dreamtime. I've tried to tell the people that's moved out of Coventry and not been back for years they can get cheap accommodation in the city centre We now have to pay £29 for a family room in the Premier Inn, before they closed the Travelodge in Broadgate we were getting rooms from £9 to £15 for a family room. I felt sure if you only lived 200 miles away you would return to the city you must love from time to time

Hi Dougie, I am more than sure we used to live at 42 Lime Tree Avenue, and my father used to nickname me Leslie Welch because I had a good memory, so I am hoping I can be of help to you there. Again, I am sure Doris lived over the road and just a little way further up there was little shop on the corner - Taskers. Not there now though. There were so many 'little shops on the corner' in those days. Now there's an introduction to a new topic. Who remembers the little shop on their corner?

Can I BUMP this thread up in the hope that some of the new people that look on here now may know them
