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.

Graham Knight


The White family moved to West Heath in 1953-1956 from Ladywood having first moved to Birmingham from South Warwickshire, where they were farmers, in the 1860s. In 1948 Ruby White (3rd from left back row) married Leonard Knight (taking the photo thus not in it), whose family had been agricultural workers in Suffolk since Anglo Saxon times. They moved to Turves Green in 1953, 3 months after the birth of their son, Graham, who is shown being held by Stan Ogidel. Stan was originally from Poland and settled in Birmingham after World War 2 with his his wife, Pearl, who was Ruby’s twin. The twins were children of Dick and Josie White, 2nd and 3rd from right, as was Dick, their eldest son (at right) and Joan (2nd from left). To Ruby’s left is Rose Page, Dick Jr’s 1st wife. The two older boys are Roger and Graham Hurcombe, sons of Ruby and Len’s next door neighbours.

Amagoia Ayestaran


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.

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.
