I always remember that they had French surnames, like LePage and LeMarchant, but they were very British and had an accent similar to the Cornish. When they said good bye it was 'cheery' Just one more memory from chidhood was the milkman, which I am sure has gone now, but he would come down the...

Mom and Dad taken in the 70's in Guernsey. Lynda:)

Looking at Alf's thread reminded me of my own experiences. I read on another forum about how the Channel Islanders capitulated without much resistance. When the second world war broke out Dad was one of the reserves, so was immediately called up. He didn't speak much about his experiences, but...

Great picture Alf. Gone on then. What happened? Lynda:)

All those babies were lovely Rowan. Them were the days. Lynda:)

Re: Search for John Edward Bird Can't find anymore from the census. No Thomas and Elizabeth anyway. So its back to the drawing board I'm afraid. Lynda:)

Re: Search for John Edward Bird Phil. I would go with 65 as the 1871 census from Lady Linda would still imply a 1865 birth, as the census was before his sixth birthday. I'll just have a look at the later census and see what I can find Lynda:)

Hawii 5 O and my goodness Harry O. Rowan and Martins Laugh in. Not the nine oclock News, Budgie, Z Cars and what on earth was the next one called with Stratford Johns? Lynda

Those were lovely words Astonian. God bless you and your family. Time does heal, but they are always in our thoughts. Lynda:smile2:

Some people are very rude. It's not about whether we like them or not, but as to whether we have any idea where they were taken surely. Thanks Lyn for allowing us to see them. Have no idea about art in any shape or form, but its nice to have an opportunity to see something that will certainly be...

So disappointed for you Lyn. Have only just found your posts. I'm sure there is a buyer out there. On looking at the many auctions there are on TV these days, it does seem to be hit and miss with certain items, but where there's a will there's a way. So keep nibblng at it. Lynda:)

I was born 55 Abbey Road Erdington, where Mom and Dad lived until they went to live with my sister in 1990's. When married I lived in Levante Gardens in Stetchford, then to Telford for 20 years and now here in Wales for last 20. Someone asked on another site if we missed Brum, and I answered no...

On looking at the Birmingham Electoral Rolls for 1920 Thomas is still living at 21 Moorsom Street, and it may be a coincidence, but Joseph and Mary Morris are living at number 23. Joseph and George are too young to be on the electoral role, but presumably they were still living with their...
