Before the real children came along!

And after! Douglas & Gladys with my brother David at Marriott Road c1949

Douglas with me (Stephen) I know not where!

A note on the back of this photo says Douglas with Bud & David 1945, but looking at the house I’m pretty sure it must be be Bud & me (Stephen) in 1951!

A family holiday, L-R Bud (Lander) Ethel May, David, Gladys, Douglas

Coincidence?

My mother’s birthday was December 10th.  My Grandmother Ethel May Pywell’s birthday was December 10th.  After my mother died my father remarried to Dorothy Scott.  Her birthday? December 10th!
