Seems photo not included. I'll have to see what I've done wrong. SorryMy 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.
Thank you.... Picture is attaching, than being g cancelled. I must be doing something wrong. I'll need to work on it. Sorry .Quibell
You have not posted a picture
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.Now I can't see a picture either, but I going to have a guess.
Could it possibly be Eileen Sheridan?

It is probably too large. It can be reduced using "paint".Seems photo not included. I'll have to see what I've done wrong. Sorry

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.?www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/44/a3201544.shtml,
Just read this and thought I should share it with you...

Hello, I am Louis De Camillis´s granddaughter. My son came across this forum as we are currently researching the family history, and asked me if I knew anything. My mother, Jeannette, Louis daughter might have some information.Graham, You say your mother was a Shorthand Typist at Cyclo Gear, do you know how many office staff worked there?
Were there many Shorthand Typists? Whereabouts in Handsworth had you & your mother lived? Did Louis Camillis ever visit your mother's house? Sorry to ask questions but it may bring out some interesting replies from other members.
Regards, RobT
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 .
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 immediately after WW2 and Louis became great friends with my parents, Pat and Norma, who your mother may well remember. We lived in Windermere Road, Handsworth, then latter out in Wall Heath, by Kingswinford, but the move was long after Mom left Cyclo Gear. Please send your email address !Hello, I am Louis De Camillis´s granddaughter. My son came across this forum as we are currently researching the family history, and asked me if I knew anything.

We have a large archive of photos from the Cyclo years. I will take a look to see if there are any further photos as well.
kind wishes

A view I've not seen for years. This is Victoria Road near the junction of Whitehead Rd and was the view opposite from where I lived 1959-1967.hello quibell....dont know if this is any good to you..you may already have it..a photo of cyclo gear potters hill with workers outside....is that a lady kneeling down?...could it be your mom?...the date is 1951 which is within the time frame that your mom worked there i believe
