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.
