Sorry about that. First child born 1915 in West Bromwich last one 1924 in Burton on Trent Lynda:)

Know Dad is a Venables and Mom a Parker. Know children who were born in West Bromwich. Can't find christian names or marriage. Looked in birth and marriage indexes on Ancestry. No luck. Any ideas? Lynda :stressed: :)

Second that. Lynda:)

There were 2 Joseph Harris in the 1911 census age 1 year and living in Aston, and 2 other living in Solihull and Rugby. Have you any other names say sisters or brothers names? Without some more info, we cannot isolate him. The Aston addresses were 7 Thimblemill Lane and the other Great Francis...

Absolutely first class. You have put into words exactly how I feel, but have not been able to express. Very well done. Lynda

Thats great Jean.But didn't they go to such a lot of trouble. Most people these days buy their turf. We just can't wait. Must say, I have sowed a few lawns in my time, but it was more luck than judgement. Lynda:)

Please God , we never forget those men and the sacrifice they all made at that time. I have faith that none of them died in vain. They will have a rich reward. Lynda

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

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

The film I went to see when I shouldn't, was at the Plaza at Stockland Green, and I asked someone to take me in. The film was 'The Pit and the Pendulem'. My goodness. It frightened me to death. I had to go and ask if I could sit with a couple of older girls for protection. We never learn. Lynda:)

I listened to one of his interviews as well Jean, where he said that the war was not worth the loss of even one life, and he thought negotiation was the way out. Bless him. He had it right there. Why is it that governments, no matter which country we speak of, are willing to sacrifice our young...

Isn't it great to have such help from this forum. All the more reason to give them the thanks they deserve. Glad Joanna found her answer. Lynda:)

Re: Anyone know this couple and what year is it? Hi again Paula. The caption says Xmas 1928, and it is obviously someones Mom and Dad. If it was amongst your Grandfathers things, perhaps it was his parents? Lynda:)

Re: Anyone know this couple and what year is it? Hey Hey Hey Paula. (Thats an old one) Back to your picture. Cannot put any names on it, but should imagine it would be early 1900's. I have several of my grandparents who died around the 1950's. I would say they could have been your G...

Ray. Fancy you knowing my Uncle Pink. I never knew where that name came from. As a kid, you didn't think to ask. We were a very close family in those days. Dads name was Cyril also known as 'Socks Harris' again I never found out why. Lynda

Chris Moyles next week. Hoping it will be as good. It certainly looks like it. Lynda:)

Hi Jean. There were a large number of them. There was John , Anthony, David, Elizabeth, Irene, Josephine, Linda, Margaret, Philip, Raymond, Robert, Sandra, Sheila and Sylvia. Hows that for a family After Nan died I cannot remember seeing them again. Their Mom, my Aunty Joe, died in 1972, so by...

Ray . My Nan owned the greengrocers. Ann Harris was her name and my Uncle Fred and Aunty Rose lived opposite. Nan died in 1954 when I was 8, but I spent the most happiest times of my life with her. Thats why I love this site so much as it keeps reminding me of happy days. So many of the family...

It's probably not the same company, but we have a Peacocks shop in Newtown near to us. (In Wales) They sell cheap clothing a bit like Woolies and about the same size. I think they are more widespread in Wales Lynda

That really was worth a read Alf. Thanks for that. Lynda
