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.

Sameena Parvaz


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.


With my paternal grandparents Sabir Hussain Abbasi and Inayat Begum.

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.
