hi everyone

a while ago i was trying to find were my mother in law lived in the 1950,s .... in bradford
it was sugested i buy the cert to get an address for her,

i went to bradford friday and got her daughters birth cert all it says is the park rooley lane bradford..

sorry folks

i should have put the park rooley lane is were they lived she was born at horton home. when i enquired about this they said it was a hospital.

on a 1930,s map it was called bowling park poor law instituion next to bowling cemetery.
on a 1950.s map it s called the park
on both mapsthere,s tracks all way round the buidings and on the 50,s one it has a number of ramps and in the middle of the buildings it says platform,, the lady at the libary says a looks like a small station

i,m at a loss becouse i thort it would show loads of houses but they just look like buildings

many thanks Donna
