He is there under a Villa St address

Thank you so much oldMohawk, my parents were sitting on the beach so I assume it's sand. It made me smile when I saw dad was wearing a shirt and tie and the gent in the background looks like he's wearing a jacket, even though it must have been warm as mum's in a sundress. Thanks again.

I wonder whether anyone would mind having a go at this pic of me with my parents on Blackpool beach in 1950 please?

I've found these newspaper reports about the accident, but have only found one death which could be correct. It's for a Pearce Joseph Sheridan dob 5 August 1940 (so correct age) whose death was registered Sept quarter 1971 at Cheshire 10a 504. Reports are very similar, but thought I'd post what...

Not sure what records you already have, but here's the family in 1911 their address is - Residents of a house 20 in Ebrington Military Barracks (Londonderry No. 5 Urban, Londonderry) and a copy of his birth registration.

Hi Eric, I found it on Find My past in their British Newspapers section 1938.

Did a newspaper search for an entry of death, but nothing came up except this clipping of his granddaughter's marriage.

Hi Greta, I can send you what there is regarding his military records that are on FMP if you would like a copy; just send me your email address by private message. Unfortunately they are very damaged. I have updated Horace's Silver war badge details on Ancestry, which were transcribed as Horace...

Pedrocut. Thank you so much for all the above information. I didn't know of Jane Louisa, her surname had been mistranscribed as Lockin on her baptismal record at St Philips in 1837 on Ancestry. Strangely her dob is 2 April 1829 so I'm surprised she wasn't baptised with the rest of her siblings...

Thank you for this very interesting information. My husband’s “Lovekin” ancestors were boat builders in the mid-1800s. Richard Lovekin, born 1780ish Sheriff Hales, Shropshire, buried St Paul's Birmingham 1858. Six of hubby's 3x great grandfather’s children were baptised at St Philips, a job...

Thank you Andy. These have taken me back 70 years to my childhood. I spent many of my pre-school years in the original Kitwell Farmhouse, in Florrie Baylis' kitchen, before it was demolished and she and Harry moved to a new council house in Kitwell Lane. I used to play in those fields and the...

That happened in my mum's family too and my "cousin" doesn't know to this day that her sister was her mum! I have found deaths for Elizabeth aged 1, Caroline aged 5 and Thomas aged 3. I wonder what happened to the other children? I'm going to log off now as have to collect 2 of my...

Possibly though they registered their other children and several of their children aren't with them on the census so may have died in childhood; children in 1861 were Jane, William and George and 1871 Alfred and Ellen. They could have took her in and adopted her.

If you zoom in it says 54
