GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

Rosemarie Stephenson


The 1st photo, taken around Christmas time in 1959, is of my mother and I in my paternal grandparents home, Munstone cottage, which was next to a little chapel where I was always made to feel most welcome. I still own a little picture, ‘the light of the world’ and a beautiful little illustrated bible which they gave me on prize giving days. I didn’t go very often and they wouldn’t have known that I was I was going to be there on that particular Sunday so I thought that it must be magic that they had a prize for me, with my name on it! My grandmother died when I was 6 and my grandad moved in with my dad’s brother and his family but I still remember some of the hymns that we sang there. I also remember my Granny Gunter teaching me to knit. The 2nd photo of mom and I was taken in 1960, when I was 9 ½ months old, whilst we were on holiday in a chalet in Clacton.

This is my favourite photo of my late parents Iran and Joyce. Dad was born in Portland Jamaica and came to England in January 1954 and met the love of his life, our wonderful mother Joyce, who was born in Saltley, Birmingham. They met at work at the Co-Op Meat Depot, Albert Street, Birmingham at the Christmas works do. They had their first kiss under the mistletoe. Dad and Mom didn't have much money but this photo was taken for a special reason: to sent to Jamaica so Dad's mother could have a photo of her son and his family. This photo was taken in 1957 as Dad's mother Adina in Jamaica requested a photo of her son Iran, wife Joyce and her two Grandsons. Sadly Adina never had the chance to meet her Grandchildren so this photo was important and stayed on her wall in Jamaica till her sad passing. I'm not in the photo as I wasn't born then! The couple went on to have a total of five children.

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.
