They do make you laugh though don't they? And they would get you hung at times! I remember Sally, my eldest, on watching a young woman walking through the shopping centre in very hippy style dress, saying in that "everyone listen" tone of voice children have," oh mom, you didn't say there was a...

Lovely views of the park Dave, must admit I wouldn't have been happy driving on that road though, having had a long slide this morning, my Espace now has low profile tyres and zero handling, so its essential journeys only for me! Thanks for posting the video. Sue

Re: Joseph Moseley b c1838 Thatis the only possible I could see too Mike. Do you have any idea where Joseph was born/lived Mr Zippy? Sue

Great pics Bernie, thanks Sue

bit better than here then Sheri, main roads are very slushy and slippy and pavements are lethal, as the first snow froze before this lot started. A thumbs up from mom for those clip on snow grips available, we got her some last year, which she didn't really have chance to use, but she tested...

Stars a lot of the reason for no coats today is nowhere to put them during the day, not safe to leave in cloakrooms like we used to do, they get nicked,and its no fun carrying a wet coat round school, if they put it in their bag they are in trouble if the books get wet, and also, so many schools...

Brings back memories for me too, nan lived in Sutton, so have spent many hours in the park in the sun and snow, love the look of it in the snow. Sue

I'm sure someone will be able to name them though Bernie and it will be nice to see them. Sue

I don't really remember it, but mom and dad talk about it, I was just over 2 and my brother a baby. As dad was a carpenter, the building sites weren't workable, so we had no money coming in - dad went and worked on some cooling towers for a while to get some cash, but it was a very tight time...

Thanks for that Morturn, sounds interesting, lets hope the snow doesn't scupper it for them. Nice to see they are hoping for an open day in March too with he buses running. Sue

Lyn have found that with dad too, when I've mentioned names/places connected with his rels, he often recalls something about them, keeps his mind active too Sue

Hi Margaret, In 1939, Charles and Mary are at 9, Fancott Road, Kings Norton (Northfield ward) and again in 1945. By 1950, they are at 35, Edenbridge Road, Hall Green and were here again in 1955. Sue

It is sad when you find young deaths, one of dads uncles was killed at Gallipoli, dad never knew this part of his family, it seems they became estranged for some reason, I'm still working on that!! Moms cousin was a bomb disposal expert and was killed defusing a German bomb in Cornwall in WW2...

I wonder if any of moms rels worked at the whip makers, her moms family were renon whipmakers to the gentry and were Birmingham based from the 1890's, though I am not sure exactly where. Sue

Hi Paul, not one of mine I don't think, they are all Wolverhampton born. Have you started a new thread of your own on the genealogy area, that way people will respond to your query alone? Good luck with your searching - have you tried the 1911 census to find him? Sue

Thats something new I've learnt today, thanks Jim! Sue
