Thank you so much Bernard I wouldn't have gone to bed till I had taken another look. Your wife is so beautiful and you a very lucky gent. Bye. Jean.
 
Bernard just noticed the little boy and girl at either side front row looking across at one another lovingly. Jean.
 
That's up to you Bernard but we would love to see it. How beautiful your wife is on that photo once again what a lucky man. Bye. Jean.

All of the photos are lovely. There's nothing like a nice wedding. Thought I'd show one of mine. 43 years ago now.

Hi Jean
We were married in 1966 in Erdington Parish Church. I've looked closely at all the other photos, hoping I recognise someone.

Hi Jean, Enid and I were married at Castle Bromwich Church on 28 August
1954, so it would have been 55 years next month! The Rev Canon Forbes
officiated, we had a bad start really, Enids Mom had a brain haemorrhage in May,
then a week before the wedding we found Enids Dad on the kitchen floor,
he had a burst ulcer, so her brother Hoss gave her way mI didnt know him very well then but he became my best friend for the next fifty
years til he died of bladder cancer in 2003. bye Bernard

That's lovely to still remember the date after all those years. I must put these photo's on as they keep looking up at me. Will do it shortly. Jean.
 
Have put this photo on of my old neighbour from Holte road who'm I am still in touch with. She was Betty Read now Dorkins George is her husband. They both worked at the IMI so someone out there might recognise them. Jean.

Hi Baron,
Just browing through an old thread and found this post. I have noticed before that you have 2 of the names in my family history . I would have to get digging to look for a Gordon Thursfield,but if the picture could be re produced I might see a family resemblance. It just came up as a "thumbnail" so couldnt see anything at all. Can you help please?

So great to see you guys & gals photos, I bet a lot more members have more to share keep them comming. well done every one
 
Hi All

1st post so apologies if i've not handled the photo correctly. The only way I seemed to be able to upload it was by creating a public album?

My Brummie mom (Hilda Jenney) and black-country dad (Gordon Thursfield) in their wedding photo from 14th October 1939, at Saint Mary's Church, Aston Brook.

It's rumoured that the little chap on the right on his mom's knee is calling himself "the Baron" these days?

Best wishes,
Gordon Thursfield

Hi Gordon, My Mum is a Thursfield,(William and Evelyn Hand) Havent all my info to hand as laid up with a slipped disc. Are your family all Black Country based ?
 
Hi Suze

My Thursfields are Wednesbury based since the 1760s. Grandfather Thomas who is in the wedding photo, moved to Wolverhampton in 1910 to pursue his trade as a music hall/silent cinema violinist and violin teacher.

Best wishes,
Gordon
 
Gordon - I may have asked you this before but I went to school with a girl called Wendy Thursfield do you have a relative with that name. We lived in Handsworth and she would be in her mid 60's now. :) Maureen
 
Hi Sakura

I have one Wendy Thursfield in my database born 1955 daughter of George A Thursfield and ? Slack. The relationship calculator reports we are 6th cousins with Thomas Thursfield and Ann Kendrick as common ancestors who married in 1768 in Wednesbury
 
Hi Suze

I think I have your gf William in my database but have no family details. Born March quarter 1907 in the Aston district of Birmingham son of Arthur Thursfield and Louisa Watson?
Our common ancestors married in 1731 in Weeford (near Lichfield).

Best wishes,
Gordon
