An acknowledgement plus don’t forget Mr Metcalfe’s request today!

The football tables below track Ushaw Moor’s football team in the early 50s. For those not familiar with football tables the figures, in order after each team name, represent played, won, drawn, goals scored, goals conceded, and points. I have not found any record of Ushaw Moor being in this league at any other time. Either way the tables are thanks to Mr Paul Stone. If you google:

Wearside League 1919-1960

there are some other interesting matters regarding that league as well as the formal web address.

The last thing I want is to lessen the impact of Mr Metcalf’e request because of it being geographically lower down today’s posts – so do have a go at helping him.

John and Ann (nee Murray) Metcalfe

July 5, 2013 Paul Clough Leave a comment

Posted on behalf of John Metcalfe.

Hello There

I wonder if any of your subscribers have any information about my parents John and Ann (nee Murray) Metcalfe. It’s their golden wedding later this month and I was hoping someone might have some memories that I could use.

Dad was born in 1942 and was the son o John and May Metcalfe who owned the bakers at the top of the hill. I know he played cricket and football for the local team and often helped my grandparents in the bakery. He has a sister Patricia.

Mam (also born in 1942) is from Bearpark (Victoria Street) her dad Jack worked in the colliery her sister is Margaret. Their mam died in 1966 and granddad remarried

Any help that you or readers can give would be much appreciated

I think your site is wonderful, wish there was many more like it

Regards

John
