When I was born, in 1948, my parents lived in Mount Park Road. My father, who was chairman of the Ealing Rotary Club (at least twice that I remember), was a solicitor and his firm 'Machin-Smith & Brown' had two offices. One was on New Broadway above a bank between the Town Hall and St Mary's church (this was my father's office), and one in West Ealing (Mr Brown's office). I lived at 9 Westbury Road from 1953 - ...see more
I was born in 1946 in a private maternity home near Walpole Park and the awful King Edwards hospital. I lived at 70 Gordon Road until I married (Haven Green) and migrated to Australia in 1970.

I ...see more
My father was a local Ealing man, who attended Little Ealing Boys school and Chiswick Poly. He was the owner of Gordon Garage, Gordon Road, W.13 from around 1950-1969.

I had a few jobs in Ealing jewellers opposite Woolworths, I also worked in a ladies clothes shop which was Lilly and Skinner. My mum worked in Gino's Italian resturant near the station and my sister worked in Boots in the arcade. Happy days.
I worked in Woolworths, met a lot of people, was so sad when it closed, turned out to be Iceland. I have a lot of good memories of Ealing.
My great great grandmother went here in 1901. Her name was Elizabeth Potter. I am trying to find out whether she was working for a family at this address or possibly if this was a boarding type house at the time. If anyone has any way of finding out, that would be much appreciated.
Hi, I am trying to find anyone who grew up in Ealing in the 1930s and knew of the Mastin family. My mother grew up there and lived there until she got married and moved to Middlesex where she changed her name to Schofield, I am just trying to find anyone who might have known them. Any information would be great no matter how small. My mum spoke fondly of Ealing. Thank you.
I live in Haven Green, 7, but in the year 1965, my Mother and we, movend to Switzerland. Now I am searching for people who knew us. My father's name was Peter J. W.

I have a brother born in 1956 named Jeremy and ...see more
