All that I know is that his mother's name was Olive her occupation was listed as "maid"; she later remarried probably in the 1920's. He had a younger brother named John. He told me one time that there were three Douglas Charles Knight's ( all of the first born son's had this name ) buried in the cemetery in Willesden but not which cemetery! Dad was estranged from his mother and brother after the death of his father likely in the early 1920's. Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at Mail-me Thanks Post reply -->London Willesden charlie Knight 3 Feb Willesden OBrien, Walsh, Burns Rd, Earlsmead Rd, Mordaunt RdI would really appreciate any help regarding the O'Brien and Walsh families circa 1915-1940 in and around Burns Rd, Earlsmead Rd and Mordaunt Rd and the areas of Harlesden, Willesden and Kensal Green for the purposes of family history.

Bridge Rd and Gibbons Rd are still there but the roads off Taylors Lane have been renamed. Does anyone know why and when these roads were renamed? I lived in Taylors Lane from 1941 - 1959.

As I heard it, they took the guy on an old pushchair around the shops in Church Rd. when they went inside the Butchers (opposite Curzon Cres and the Post office - I can't remember the name) The Butcher was obviously a bit p***** by this and stabbed the guy with one of his knives. Unfortunately it was a kid dressed up to make a ‘very life like’ guy. Was this true or just a story? If true what happened ? Post reply -->London Willesden Dj 4 Nov ^ WillesdenI think the butchers opposite Curzon Crescent was Carpenters. My mother told me of a boy being stabbed accidentally while dressed as a guy, but I don't think it was outside this butchers. This story goes back to before WWII and my mother told me about it before 1950 just in case I would have unthinkingly done something similar. The gist of the story is just as you account. Ron.

I was born in that home on the 16th June, 1963 and 3 months later was placed for adoption with a family in Ireland. I was wondering if anyone knew my birth mother? Her name was Margaret O' Shea and she would have been around 22 at the time.I did trace her before she died but never really got to know her as she lived in New York. I would love to know more about her or the O'Shea family. I believe she had a brother John (deceased) married to an Emily who could also be still alive and living in the UK. Hopefully someone out there can help me.

The 3 different addresses I have are 121 and 123 Roundwood Road, 3 Ilex Road, and 4 Beaconsfield Road. The name is FREDERICK TAYLOR and has on different ocassions been a Jockey, horse trainer and later and horse dealer plus a laundryman. He married Mina (or Minnie) Brown in 1900. They had two daughters Emily Victoria and Ethel Wilhelmina. Family members say they had a laundry in Shepherds Bush went to Brighton and then back to London (big place!) Other names in Willesden are JONATHAN GIBBONS and CHARLES SKEATS (of 3 Ilex Road). They were in Willesden as late as 1950's. If this rings any bells it would be great to hear from you but sorry it's so far in the deep and distant past. Thanks all Tony Brown Dartford Mail-me Post reply -->London Willesden Tony Brown 13 Aug ^ WillesdenHi Tony I lived in Beaconsfield Rd Willesden from 1937 to 1968 the only family of Taylors who lived there lived at number 8 who were my Aunt and Uncle . Their daughter Peggy married a Skeats . Alan Post reply -->London Willesden Alan Wilebore 16 Nov ^ WillesdenHi Alan, I have just seen your post regarding the Taylors of Beaconsfield Road. I vaguely remember the Taylors as we were the Berry family (Parents Stan Edna opposite). I was born there in 1954 - 79 at number 9 . I was friends with Susan Webb opposite and she had 2 brothers Peter and Jim I think. Their father tragically died in a train accident. I do recall having a conversation when I was around 11 with I think one of the Taylors about how much Dockers were being paid - £40 per week they told me and I was truly amazed at the time!
