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.

This was taken the day of my sister’s first communion. There are not many generations in this one shot but it means a lot to me as four of these people are no longer with us. Some left long ago and some much more recently. I miss them all every day.
My sister and I are both in pink, I'm the little one at the front and Monica is behind me. The adults are: My uncle Angel (deceased), his daughter Merche, my Father Jose Antonio (deceased), his sister Angela (deceased), my Mother Itziar, my cousin Inma (deceased) and her then boyfriend Ladislao.

This photograph shows three generations of women on my mother's side, on holiday at the seaside
My Mom Margo is the child on the right, my Aunty Carol the child in the middle and their cousin Lesley is on the left. My grandmother Betty Biddle is the lady on the right and her sister Margaret Carpmail (Aunty Peach) is on the left. In the middle is my great-grandmother Edith Jackson. At the time this picture was taken my great-grandmother lived on Merrivale Road in Smethwick where my Nan grew up. My Nan lived with her husband Ernie (who with Mr Webb set up the auction house Biddle and Webb) and her daughters in Erdington.

Kathleen Ryan came from Southern Ireland and John Beckfoŕd came from Westmoreland Jamaica. They found they had a lot in common when they came to Birmingham. The welcome to both sides was hard when they arrived in England. They both worked all there life even after retirement and both stayed together through the good and the bad in life. Sadly John passed away in 2011 and Kathleen passed in 2014, leaving two children and four grandchildren, passing on the respect for people of colour and religion.
