 | Willesden Knight FamilyI'm seeking any information about my father Douglas Charles Knight born in 1918. 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.
