A rare find, my brother Alan came across a website hosting many photograph from where we live and whilst browsing through the pictures he stumbled upon some of our family.
The first photograph below is from 1920 they were amateur boxes I've marked all of the photographs with an arrow so you can see who they are.
this one is a picture with my Granda in, he's my mams dad, we haven't got this picture so it was wonderful to find it. he was quite a sporty guy in his youth and in fact in his very late years he was still known to play snooker and billiards.
This is from the amateur operatic society below is a photograph with both my Dad and his sister Auntie Alice, another photograph that we had never seen.
Below is a picture of my Brother Russell staring in Oliver, we already had this photograph but i thought you might like to see it.
My Mam has been reminiscing and finding loads of her friends on the site of bygone years, isn't the Internet wonderful?
I do hope I haven't bored you all.
What a great find Jak, a goosebump moment i think. Yes the internet is a wonderful place ( as long as you can get on -lol)
