Hi there, my family that are talbot lived in Great Lister Street, I'm wondering if we may be related?
 
On the 1939 register there are 4 houses on Great Lister St with Talbots, 3 of them seem to be related including a Winifride Talbot that appears to marry an Ernest Walker. The 2 related ones appear to be her uncles - Walter and Albert.

Ooh! Hello Welsh Brummie - tell me more please. It's not a hugely common name so...

Have you got a Walter James Talbot and his wife Elizabeth in your family tree by any chance. My grandmother has told me that all the Talbot’s on this street were related in someway!

there was also a lilly SWALLOW
 
I think you may be getting a little confused.

I think your dad's sister was Lilian Kate Smallwood who married Albert Wellings.

Lilian Talbot who married Albert Swallow was your dad's cousin I think.

Your grandmother Millicent Talbot and Walter James Talbot appear to be sister and brother children of William Talbot and Emma Litherland.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE GOT IT RIGHT, thanks
 
So are you down the Smallwood side? I’m pretty sure my Nan played with her cousin that were Smallwood as a child, so it is likely your aunts & dad played with my Nan. Which child out of them was your dad?

I think the sons were:
Richard
William
Alfred
Leslie

And daughters:
Lilian
Florence
Millicent

Correct me if I’m wrong
 
I have no connection so I don't know.

I'm just trying to connect the dots (so to speak) between yourself and WelshBrummie, as you appear to be talking about the same people and are possibly related.

Hi, only just seen this. I believe you're in contact with my cousin GilberS. I hope he's told you about my visit to your nan's in the 60s. I've very fond memories of it, her and your mother on that trip. Would love to find out more if possible.
