Memories of the Manning Family?

Ann Williamson has contacted the webteam with this request about her mother’s family who lived in Hodnet around the 1920s & 30s:

My mother was called Doris Mary Manning, she was born in 1925 in Hodnet, Shropshire. Her father was called George William Manning born 1902, and her mother was born Fanny Blainey.
She had several siblings: George born 1923, Eric G Manning and Frank W Manning were twins, Harold J Manning 1930, Dennis D 1931 & Cyril J 1931.
I believe from research that Thomas Manning born 1910 at 1 Church Street, Hodnet, and who moved to 10 The Crescent, Station Road in 1922 was my mother’s uncle.
From what I gather my mother lived with her family till she was about 10 years old and then went to live with her grandma, her siblings were all separated going to live with different family members. My mother never seen them after that.
Later she moved to Blackburn, Lancashire were she then met my father, Harold Reid. I don’t know to this day why she choose to move there she never really talked about it. In fact she was a very private person kept things to herself apart from getting separated from her siblings.
The reason for this search is because I had promised to take mum back to Market Drayton but unfortunately she died, at Christmas 2014, before we could do so. The one thing she asked of me before she died was to try and trace her family and brothers and find out what happened to them. she has always talked about them.
I don’t know if anyone can help but if they can please could they get in touch with me – Tel. 07907949383 or email

Attention all Carers

Hodnet Medical CentreYesterday Hodnet Medical Centre added a page to their website saying that they are wanting to identify Carers so that they can be sure that they are providing them appropriate and adequate support.
The page, which can be found here, states:

Do you look after someone who is ill, frail, disabled or mentally ill?
We are interested in identifying carers, especially those people sho may be caring without help or support.  We know that carers are often “hidden” looking after a family member or helping a friend or neighbour with day to day tasks, and may not see themselves as a carer.
As a Carer you are entitled to have your needs assessed by Adult Care Services.  A Carer’s Assessment  is a chance to talk about your needs as a carer, and the possible ways help could be given.  It also looks at the needs of the person you care for.  There is no charge for an assessment.
Please as for a Carer’s identification and referral form which you can complete to let us know about your caring responsibilities.
Further information can be accessed at  www.carersuk.org
