This photo is of my Nan, Grandad and Mom when she was younger. My Grandad had moved from Ireland at this point to Birmingham and lived with my Nan. He married my Nan is Shropshire but they moved to Birmingham and had three children. My Grandad is now 87 and my Nan is now 79. They still live in Birmingham and this photo is known for my Grandad apparently saying he looks like James Bond.

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 picture was from a time when wedding celebrations took place in the house. Huge gatherings and tiny houses. However the love and sense of sharing was phenomenal. Tiny houses, big hearts.
