GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

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.

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.

Peter Woodhall


Marriage of Edwin (Ted) Woodhall to Barbara McNaughton in 1950. The bridesmaid in Patricia Ann Cheshire. The man holding the baby is Ted's brother, Jack Woodhall and the baby is me Peter Woodhall. On Jack's right is his wife Lucy and on his left his brother Bryan. To the right of the groom is Emily Woodhall (nee Bryan), the Mother of the groom. The picture is special as it is only at weddings that so many family members are in one place at the same time for a photo. Family lived in Gravelly Hill and Erdington at the time, although the marriage was registered in Sutton Coldfield. I'm not sure of the church.
