Mary and Viktor were my paternal grandparents and I would be interested in any more information available. My dad John (Hans) is now 91 and is really keen to learn anything more about his parents time in Risby. He attended the junior school for a time and was christened in the church. He visited some years back and has I understand, seen the record of this in the church. He has fond memories of the Byers family for whom his parents worked. Does Risby Cottage Quays Road still exist? A quick look on street view seems to show a narrow road of post war houses only..... Hoping someone can add to our back story. Thanks in advance

As you have found Quays Road looks relatively modern.  Think cottage does not mean ancient.  Have you checked full address from 1939?

Wonder if it is 'The Cottage' on that map?

If you look on the summary census sheets for 1911, Risby Cottage is between Avenue Cottages and Church Cottages, lived in by Mrs Tollemache/Sollemashe.

Thanks for the replies - I've passed the info to my Dad to see if he can work it out any further.
