My uncle Fred, and my dad.  I only remember my father with straight hair. So don't know when he lost all of those curls. He was the youngest of five sons, and one daughter. His father was killed in a works accident, when my dad was still a baby. My grandmother managed to keep them all together, and raised them herself. No state handouts in those days. |

They both look so serious, staying so still for the photo and then off to play. Lovely to have such a precious snapshot.

The family resemblance is so strong. You can really tell they are brothers.
I have a couple of old photos from those days, but so few. What a loss.

They were hard days back then and as you say whippet no state handouts. Many families found themselves in like situations. My own among them.
Love the presentation of your photo. TFS.

It was only when I got the photo out to do this, I wondered how my grandmother had managed to pay for it. I have more pictures from my maternal ancestors, but they were not poor. @ Janice. Another brother was almost identical. But the other two were completely different. My father was different to them all, as he grew to over 6ft. The others were shorter. Their mother was only 4ft 11ins. And they all had the same father.  |
