Event Description: 12 Egerton Road, Bishopston

General:

Hubert Cecil, my grandfather, was born to Sidney Russel Shipley and F lorence on 2nd June 1892 at Church St. Fulbourne, Chesterton, Cambs . By 1895 the family were living at 150 Gloucester Rd., Bristol wher e they ran a business of bakers/confectioners and tea rooms. Hubert' s father died on 11th November, 1911 when Hubert was 19. His mother k ept the business going until 1921 when she moved to another premise s in Bedminster, Bristol. During the first world war Hubert was in th e R.A.S.C. He was posted to France and drove war transport vehicles . Military record gives his service dates as 1914-1920, rank of Priv ate. Regiment no DM2/207115. Received a campaign medal, but I'm no t sure which campaign it was (will cost £3.50 to access the full recor d). Hubert married Marie Rosa Millman on May 16th 1921. The ceremony , which was o f the Church of England, took place at St. Andrew's Pa rish Church, Montpelier and was witnessed by Hubert's brother, Harol d who was also a baker and Marie's father George James Millman who wa s a cabinet maker. Hubert was a batchelor, aged 28, living at 122, C heltenham Rd. Bristol. This was a hairdressers (it still is), so pres umably he was living in rooms above, and his profession was given a s baker. She was a spinster, aged 24, living at 71, Springfield Rd. , Bristol, her parent's home and quite a grand house. They were marri ed from there. They had three children and spent the whole of their m arried life in Bristol. At first I believe they lived at 72 Kingsdow n Parade, then in Beloe Rd., Horfield which was owned by Stanley an d Rosie Millman. In the early 1930s they moved to a brand new hous e at 43 Fremantle Rd. Cotham, owned by Cecil and Lilla Millman, and la ter in the 1930s moved back to Springfield Rd. (was this the home of M arie's parents, "the in-laws".?) In 1941 they moved to 30, Berkele y Rd., a big modern house owned by the Packer family who were evacuate d because of the war. (the daughters Bee and Cissy Packer were friend s of Marie). For the first time they were away from "the Millmans" . In 1943 they bought their own home for the first time at 109 Nort h Rd. St. Andrews. It was a four storey house and cost them 450 pounds . Their three sons Alec , Maurice and Gerald all lived there with the m though all were posted away from home during the second world war . In 1947 Maurice - my Dad - married in Holland and brought his wif e Corrie back to live there too. They had two children while living t here and didn't move out until 1954 when Hubert and Marie moved to 1 2 Egerton Rd. Horfield. Alec, his wife Joyce and son Nick lived in t he upper part of the house in Egerton Road, having previously lived wi th Joyce Lydeard's parents at 111 North Road. Gerald remained at hom e until 1957 when he married Pam. Hubert died on 27th November 1961 a t Southmead Hospital, Bristol. I believe he was cremated at Canford c emetery. I can just remember my grandfather as a nice man who was thi n, wore a trilby hat and smoked Woodbines.
