Information about the children who lived on the Ferndale Park Estate between when it was built and the 1960s.

If you lived on the Ferndale Park Estate as a child between when it was built and the early 1960s, have you ever wondered what happened to the children you used to know and play with? This page may tell you because it contains information, and some pictures, about some of them. It has been compiled from information and memories from persons who used to live on the estate, and from my own memories and research. Since 1998, I have been interested in genealogy, researching my own PAGE family extensively throughout East Sussex, and my mother’s HARRIS family in the East-End of London. I have used the various genealogy websites, especially the General Record Office (GRO), Ancestry and Find my Past, to help find information about the children and their families who lived on the estate when I was a child. All my research on this page is information that is in the public domain.

Each part of the Ferndale Park Estate has its own page that can be accessed from either the drop-down menu at the top of the page or from the appropriate button below.

The names of people are listed in address order, starting with Fairfield Avenue and ending with Ravenswood Avenue. Occasionally I have added text in italicised square brackets to information from others for clarity. Whilst I am very grateful to those who have given me information and pictures so far, if you know anything about the children who lived on the estate between when it was built and the 1960s, then please get in touch with me. I would love to have more old photographs to include and welcome any corrections to what has been written here so far – thanks, chris@g4bue.com.
