Hi there Yes, Max is my first cousin. His dad was my mother's brother.

Hi Stokkie. I clearly remember my mother telling me about this when I was in my teens. I had been asking about her , and her family during the war as grandad, a silver smith, had been in a reserved occupation. I had just learned for some reason about Dad having got out of Dunkirk had ended up...

Many thanks Vivienne.

Further to my research into my mother, Norma Olive Quibell, born 30/03/1920 in Handsworth, I understand that she was a member of the Air Raid Precautions during the second world war in Birmingham. Will there be any records relating to individuals in the ARP, showing duties and perhaps specific...

I believe William Bennett was the license with his wife Selina. The Census placed them in The George and Dragon, but I can't for the life of me find the paperwork giving that information. At the moment " Find my Past ", won't let me view my old searches although searches were all payed for...

Does anyone have knowledge of a 19 century pub called the George and dragon in Birmingham. My great grandfather was " publican " of that establishment. I realise the implications of the title, " publican ", during that period.

Ha, small world. Max is my cousin. His dad, Bert, and my mother were brother and sister.

Really great to hear from you Jackie. I have no idea how many typists / Secretary s were in the Cyclo Gear company, but there couldn't have been that many. I have almost no memory of Louis for reasons I would explain in an email if I could get your address. Mom worked there I believe...

Melissa, are you still looking for folk from cyclo gear company

fascinating story worth reading. This lady looks a lot closer to the individual I'm trying to identify, and bears the family name also. Need to find which branch of the family she comes from. Cousin maybe.?

thanks Lyn. Difficult to identify the individual kneeling at the front, but it could be Mom. Thanks for the input.

Ah Bob. Didn't notice the badge. Well spotted. It would be great if someone who was connected to Cyclo Gear, or Louis Camillis, could throw some light on this. Again, thanks for your help.

Rob. Closer examination of picture and it doesn't look like Eileen. Also, I reckon picture taken just pre WW2. I can always be proved wrong .

Good effort but the woman in my pic is more round in face. Wish I could sort it. Reckon taken pre WW2. Thank you for your idea.

Seems photo not included. I'll have to see what I've done wrong. Sorry Thank you.... Picture is attaching, than being g cancelled. I must be doing something wrong. I'll need to work on it. Sorry .

My mother worked before / during / and after WW2 for the Cyclo gear company in Aston. She was Norma Quibell and lived in Handsworth. Mom is on the left of this picture ; can anyone identify the young lady on the right.
