Harlesden BOMB SITE IN RUCKLIDGE AVENUE  

Does anyone remember the bombed out theatre in Rucklidge Avenue. I used to play on this site as a kid and had some wonderful times, you could be anything you wanted, a spy, a soldier even a ghost and scare all the other kids.
There used to be long steel bond hanging down in the centre from what was left of the roof and the braver kids used to swing from one VIP box accross the width of the theatre to another VIP box. Today Health and Safety would prevent anything near to this. I would love to have a photo of this little piece of nostalgic memories. I was run over by a truck in Rucklidge Avenue but ah that's another story.

Harlesden  

I remember the Harlesden Hippodrome theatre that was in the High St. which was bombed in the war. I think I saw a Shirley Temple film there before the war but my memory is hazy as I was only five or so then.

Harlesden Murder in Rucklidge Avenue  

I remember this murder happening, I was only a child of about 10 at the time but I remember all the fuss that went on at the time. I lived in the street and all the kids used to dare each other to go to the front door, not many did for a long long time.
There is a really nice photo of The Willesden Hippodrome on the net and next to it you can see a three storey detatched house, apparently the murderer lived in the single room on the top floor.

Harlesden Mary Jane or Mabel COUCHMAN info please.  

Can anyone help me trace my father's family history? My father was James Arthur Grieve b. 1915 at 4 Odessa Rd Harlesden. His mother was a Margaret Grieve but I have been unable to trace more. His father is not named anywhere. My father was fostered somewhere in this area. A few years ago I posted here for help in my research but nothing came of it.

I am now having another try as I have found that my father's foster mother could have been either a Mary Ann (b. 1862) or a Mabel (b. 1874) COUCHMAN both born in Lynsted, Kent. A Mabel Couchman was a witness at my parents' marriage in 1944. On the marriage certificate my father's first names are reversed to Arthur James Grieve.

I know it's a long-shot but does anyone have either of these COUCHMAN ladies in their family history files?

Please contact me at  Mail-me 

Thanks for reading this and fingers crossed!
