My paternal Grandfather, William Arthur Wheeler, his wife Lillian Cosier and their first born Lillian May Wheeler. Appears to be a studio portrait but there are no names on the print itself. Lillian bore 11 children between 1911 and 1931, sadly she then died in 1933 from breast cancer and secondary liver cancer. My father believed that his mother was 'disowned' as she had married out of their Jewish faith. However, I can find no record of a Jewish connection and believe it was more likely she was 'disowned' for being pregnant before she was married. From Census records I note she was living with her brother shortly before she got married.

Stephen Godwin


3 generations of the Godwin's of Winson Green. The old guy seated, William Henry, his father was stabbed by his partner in Sutton on Boxing Day 1875. Less than a year later, William was born and adopted by his Uncle. His wife (seated) Sarah was a gentle soul and stood 6ft. She lived with a cancer on her head which she covered with her hair. She lived and ran a small shop at 169 Devonshire Street. Their son (standing) is holding a child Mary. At 6ft 5, like his Mom, a gentle soul, he married Maud (standing with the baby), a dot compared to him but the matriarch among them all. The well dressed lady with the girl standing (Philomena) is Aunt Liz - in 50 days time she would be on the autistic spectrum. The couple getting married were Rose Godwin and George Pritchard who continued to reside in Devonshire Street. The 2 young girls died, one aged 12, the other 9 I think, within a year of each other. Philomena lived her final months in a rehabilitation unit in the Malverns as the illness had caused her to go blind. Maud and William lived at 95 Caversham Road, Kingstanding. The elder, William Henry, was a cobbler and a Freeman of Stafford. His family were Cordwainers. I have the history back to 1640.
