Compo 10,328 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 sorry about that must have caught it with my arm youdo look familliari think our paths did cross Me? I lived at 65. To my left were the Wrights and to my right were the Wrights. At 67 the Wrights had three offspring: one was Alan but I can't recall the name s of the others offhand. One was a girl and another boy I think was Alvin. Can't remember the Mr Wright forename but his wife was Welsh. One the other side lived Cyril Wright and his wife.

I'm about 15 when a Typhoon or Tornado gives us a fast fly through too !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Worra great shot RGR! mid-1950s? The white house in the background is a similar pattern to mine - is it a railway station? I would guess so because of the telegraph poles and fence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
