My dad was a
deputy at Carlton Main colliery; mum was a housewife and we all did
some work on the smallholding. (The Laburnums). Bernard was my brother
and worked at the same place as my dad until he emigrated to Australia
in 1951 (sadly he is no longer with us) Blanch is my sister, she trained
as a nurse at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. She worked there for quite
few years, then became a district nurse and worked as this until she
retired. She now lives in the Doncaster area. Unfortunately I have not
been able to locate a photo of myself yet but will keep trying. I have
another brother called Frank, he is in Australia and as been there since
1953 I am trying to locate a photo of him too. |
