Sorry, butting in again.

I think Dido must be the daughter of Winifred Talbot, she being the daughter of William Henry Talbot and Maria Margaret Doyle.

William Henry Talbot was Millicent's and Walter's eldest brother.

Lily Smallwood (Wellings) that Dido mentions would be Deltics aunt and her 2 daughters (including Linda), his cousins.
 
If I'm correct, I think these are the relationships - Deltics and Linda Wellings are cousin and they are second cousins to Dido and Welshbrummie's mother/father, who are also second cousins. Welshbrummie, you would be the third cousin of any children they may have.

1. William & Emma Talbot- 2. Millicent - 3. Albert Smallwood - 4. Deltics

1. William & Emma Talbot - 2. Millicent - 3. Lilian Smallwood - 4. Linda (Wellings)

1. William & Emma Talbot - 2. William Henry - 3. Winifred - 4. Dido (Walker)

1. William & Emma Talbot - 2. Walter James - 3. grandmother - 4. mother/father - 5. Welshbrummie

Hi MWS: Nice bit of investigative work. :)
That looks about right except for the spelling.
Line 3: William Henry Talbot & Maria Margaret Doyle had a daughter in 1911 and called her Winifred, sadly she died in 1912.
In 1920 they had a daughter and named her Winefride Monica. This is Dido's mother.

Yep! That's all spot on MWS except my mom was Winefride, as Gilbersj says. Thank you.

Here is the promised photo. Lily and Al's leaving party as they emigrated on the £10 Poms scheme. Hope you - Deltics and Welsh Brummie - might recognise a few. I'm the little sweetie in NHS glasses, leaning against Linda in the front. Not sure who coloured in Stephen's socks!

Correct, my Grandmother’s father was Walter James Talbot, so he would be my great grandfather.

I dont think my mom and dad were invited to this party, they were never invited to any parties at all, they were always left out

O h what a shame! Families eh!!
There's a man on the right who looks like Al - I wondered whether it could be his brother, your uncle?

I'm so glad to have found this forum. My grandfather was born in 1897 at 32 Lupin Street, Aston. His parents were living with his maternal grandparents at this time. SURNAMES: Webster and Woodroffe.

Message on reverse of this old family photo says "Taken at back of Walter Sillitoe's Lupin Street house, 1909, .... Heath, Birmingham. He was my sweetheart and I his" -think it must be the young lady in the front and her surname may have been 'North' as my family at that time all lived around Kings Heath.
 
hi jessica what a lovely photo and sweet inscription...do you know what number walters shop was as i cant seem to find him on the 1901 or the 1911 census at the min...and do you have a year of birth for him..

I'm not sure that it was a shop as the inscription says it's the back of his house. At the moment I don't think that we have a Sillitoe in our family so maybe the romance didn't come to fruition. I'd love to know!

sorry my mistake i thought it said shop :rolleyes: would still be nice to find out the number..do you have any idea what the first name of the lady may have been ? the only walter stillitoe i can find at the min is in leamington but i will plod on

Walter Sillitoe, 19yrs old, is on the 1911 Census living at 97 Lupin Street along with his parents and siblings. He was born in 1892. I have a hunch that the handwriting on the reverse of the photo is my nan's, Mary Ann Williams in 1909. She went married Alfred Ernest North in 1913 though.
 
Delighted to have checked with mum, now 95, who confirms that William Sillitoe was her mum's 'first love' and that the young lady in the foreground is indeed her mum, and that she never forgot him and had kept the photo with her despite moving home many times over the years. So sweet.
