GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

Paul Kilgallon


This is a composite picture combining a picture of myself with one from my family archive. For me it represents family tradition and the passing down of knowledge through family.


I stand on the left with my two granddaughters. On the right is my Dad with my eldest daughter, the girls' Mum. The girls look on as their Mum collects potatoes with her Grandad, the same activity they are doing with me.

Rosemarie Stephenson


The 1st photo, taken around Christmas time in 1959, is of my mother and I in my paternal grandparents home, Munstone cottage, which was next to a little chapel where I was always made to feel most welcome. I still own a little picture, ‘the light of the world’ and a beautiful little illustrated bible which they gave me on prize giving days. I didn’t go very often and they wouldn’t have known that I was I was going to be there on that particular Sunday so I thought that it must be magic that they had a prize for me, with my name on it! My grandmother died when I was 6 and my grandad moved in with my dad’s brother and his family but I still remember some of the hymns that we sang there. I also remember my Granny Gunter teaching me to knit. The 2nd photo of mom and I was taken in 1960, when I was 9 ½ months old, whilst we were on holiday in a chalet in Clacton.

This is a picture from my Grandparent's wedding on 2nd Oct 1915 at St Oswalds Church, Small Heath, Birmingham.


My grandfather (the groom) was born in 1888, Stamford Road, Handsworth, with my grandmother (the bride) being born in 1892, Denbigh Street, Small Heath. The lady in the hat (next to the groom) is my great-grandmother who had three children out of wedlock before 1900, my grandfather being one of them. Next to my great-grandmother is the bride's brother (born 1882). Next to the bride is the groom's sister, born in 1898, Westminster Road, Handsworth - also one of the illegitimate children. Next to the groom's sister is the bride's father, born in 1857, Leicester. By the time of the wedding it is said that the other illegitimate child, born 1886, Ladywood Road, Birmingham had found out he was illegitimate and emigrated to Canada in 1912, so missed the wedding. I do not know who the four children at the front are.
