GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

Lyn di Mascio


This is my nonna and nonno. Her parents fled Italy. They had il baccio della morte. The mafias kiss of death. Maria Carmina eloped with Giuseppe (my great grandparents). She had been promised to someone else. They jumped on the first boat not knowing the destination. When they arrived here they were sent to Birmingham where they set up a boarding house in the old Italian quarter. Giuseppe also made ice cream and sold it.

Picture of me circa 1974 with my grandparents. Lived in a multi-generational home with parents and grandparents until their passing a few years ago. This was taken around my 1st birthday in our front room in Winson Green which was used as a workshop where my grandad and his brother make men's bespoke suits some of which can be seen hanging in the back. They moved on from the workshop and bought a shop nearby; the tailoring business continues today but with my father in charge.

My big sister and little sister - a 20 year gap between the two. Mum and Dad worked day and night shifts and they all insisted we wore English clothes growing up! So this is us! Hair cuts and dungarees in 1989? Winson green born.

Peter Woodhall


Marriage of Edwin (Ted) Woodhall to Barbara McNaughton in 1950. The bridesmaid in Patricia Ann Cheshire. The man holding the baby is Ted's brother, Jack Woodhall and the baby is me Peter Woodhall. On Jack's right is his wife Lucy and on his left his brother Bryan. To the right of the groom is Emily Woodhall (nee Bryan), the Mother of the groom. The picture is special as it is only at weddings that so many family members are in one place at the same time for a photo. Family lived in Gravelly Hill and Erdington at the time, although the marriage was registered in Sutton Coldfield. I'm not sure of the church.
