Hi Tom, glad you liked the pics, it's always nice to look back on the 'old' times. My Mum (Irene Parrell) died last August at 88 years, the last one to go from the brother and sisters. I don't know if you are in touch with up there now but Bertha is still there along with loooooots of the rest of the family. I don't know how they ( the Parrells ) managed to fit into their little house at the end of the row and it tapered as it went to the rear as well. People used to manage in lots of ways then and for all that they were nices and safer times...aaaghh, time to turn the clock back in our society I think. O.K. I'm getting off the soapbox. Best regards to you.

Hi Vicky, my grandparents were Maggie and Stanley, so no doubt we're related. Our family keeps getting bigger whenever I talk to someone about us!!
