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 actually remember going into her sweet shop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of Ida and times long gone...an old fashioned sweet shop!
ReplyDeleteSitting in Ron and Frank's....and going through the blog. Ron said the name of the sweet shop was 'Mabbs'. Does anyone remember why it was called this?
