Martha Johnson (nee Dowling) had a large family which has grown and spread across the world. This family is now in it's fourth generation and all her descendants are invited to post family news and photos, new or old. This blog could help keep our big scattered family a little closer.
I managed to finally post these photos but back to front ???? Dont ask !!!! The one I said was U.Peters Funeral (Jenn, Helen, Please correct me if necessary) but look at all the cousins on it
ReplyDeleteincluding out Peter, David & Dave Jobe.The lower one is in our house Dartmouth Drive Inc.Dolly Susan Betty & Stan Burgess (Dolls Pal) & Uncle Peter & A.Vera.Dad Gerry must have taken it.Also one taken (Top) of our girls in Stanton Close Sefton, the next two are of Sally's 1st Communion at the Holy Ghost in Netherton.The bottom one is Doll & Gerrys Children in the garden, Stanton Close.
I just love all these photos. I'd totally forgotten about Darmouth Drive and Stanton Close. Loved spotting all the cousins. On the funeral picture it looks like John Rogers (Pat's husband) at the front with Colin (my ex). Although not certain - I can't even be sure it's me at the back! So long ago!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone gets as much of a buzz from seeing these pics as I do.
The next photo is from a party when I was 21. On the left is Mom and me, then Ernie & his wife (can't remember her name) Betty and Stan Burgess (friends of Mom and dad, Uncle Peter and Autie Vera.
ReplyDeleteOne of the photos is taken on Dartmouth Drive, all dressed up for church (must have been Sally's first communion) but we're standing in front of our first car, Morris Minor 907 RTJ. How's that for memory!! Even remember our phone number on Dartmouth, Great Crosby 5474.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - having my first cup of tea for the day and still a little groggy--- anyone know how to edit for spellings?
ReplyDeleteThe family group was at Peter's (my Dad, Vera's husband) funeral in the back garden at Bath Springs, Ormskirk (Pat and Peter(Younger) Breithaupt's house).I was 8 months pregnant as was Marie (Blundell)-Jim's wife.
ReplyDeleteThat is my dad, John Rogers. Well spotted Aunty Kath.
