There were the Mom and Dad,(They drank in The with Mint with my Mom and Dad) the Dad fought in Italy during WW2, they had 3 children, I cant remember the daughters name but her two brothers were called Barry and Terry. I went to Brookfields school with Terry and later Icknield Street. It would be nice to hear what happened to them.

Thanks very much, I think it was the last house on the right before the little entry before the Volcano cafe. I remember their father worked in The Jewellery Quarter and some times I would stop Friday night at their house, because at that time Terry and I were good mates.
Thanks again

It would be very kind of you if I could see the photo's, could you could load them on to this thread please. Did you live close to them, if so which street or road?
 
i dont think i would be allowed to put the photos on the thread as brenda might still be a living person
i lived in hockley but didnt know brenda untill she got married her husband who sadly died was my brother inlaws best friend
that is how we become good friends for meny years

Thanks for everything that you have sent me tonight. I think you were right, the fathers name was John, he had lost most of his ginger hair, but I always remember his ginger moustache.
Thanks again
