Here is a photo of me on the wulitzer at the Crystal Palace fair Sutton Coldfield. It was about 1953/54

Alex, I was there 1944-1951. Wendy, thank you for the pictures. I hadn't seen the plaque with the childrens names on before. That could be very useful for people who are tracing anyone who suddenly vanished from census ect.

Alex. My avater is me in my Masons uniform. (I couldn't remember the Latin version either!!)

Lindwurm Fountain Austria I remember this being lit up and I was terrified of it :( This was where my Mother worked

How wonderful Alex. May you have many more lovely get togethers. Life in an orphanage can make for lots of misunderstandings in later life, but as we age, we realise that life is too short to not put things right. Good luck and dont forget "Do Deeds of Love"

Re: The HERBERT Family Thank you terryb18, it is very kind of you to take the time to answer me. Does it say how long they (Horace and Alice) have been married and if any children died? Alice's second name was Jemima.

I know the Herbert family were living off Bristol Street when their last child was born in 1910. Would someone kindly please look up the 1911 cesus for me? I would love to know who and how many of their family lived there. The head of household should be Horace Herbert his wife Alice J. and...

Re: Lilian Smith Thank you Lynda for your reply and your time. Beings as the name is Smith I realise how difficult it is to trace.:cry: I will have to see if I can glean more info from the family. Again, thank you :)
