Nina Mildenhall

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.

Stephen Fell

Taken in May 2012, this is four generations of the Fell family. My father, sitting, was from a family of six, four brothers and two sisters. The other three brothers only had daughters so I was the only male Fell to continue the family name. Fortunately I had a son and this was the day that Great Grandad Fell got to hold his Great Grandson, George, for the first time.
