Egluntyne Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I was given a book of Sheffield scenes for Christmas. Very nice it is too. One of the photos is of a local parish church, with a wedding party in the foreground. My daughter was looking at the book last night and suddenly started squawking excitedly. The wedding was her friend Lucy Shaw's (as was) and my daughter can be clearly seen among the guests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clur Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I was given a book about the Rhondda Valley, and on showing it to my grandparents who were visiting from abroad, my grandad spotted a photo of a village brass band and proudly pointed out his mugshot in the middle. Turns out the band-master was my nan's brother too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi Everyone Think there is something in Sheffield which will alway surprise you. I was born there as therefore when doing my family tree try to get books or look at books via the net. Well, there is a book about an area called Norton and the schools around that area. Would you believe that within that book is a school photo of a group of children as we all were in the 50's and yours truly is on that photograph age about 8 or 9! So we are all famous at some time and we just do not know it. Best regards for 2009. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
