My Grandparent's Home

I received  information from my cousin Leslie about this photo. Now that I have found it I am delighted. My grandparents were Thomas Benjamin Fairminer (1881-1954) who married Louisa Florence Smith (1880 - 1944). They raised 11 children, some of them at Bedford Lane. Their birth dates range from 1900 to 1924. My mother Florence Louisa (known as Ciss) was born in 1905. I remember visiting Bedford Lane as a very young child, one of my mother's brothers, Alfred, lived a couple of houses down. A Mr D F Richardson shared information about this photo in April 2006. He says that he went to school with one of Mr Fairminer's sons, who must have been one of my uncles. I wonder which one it was? I am researching my mother's family and this is a lovely piece of information for me to include. During my research I have been able to get in touch with a number of cousins, many of them and their families still live in Frimley Green and in areas close by. My mother like so many young girls of that time was in service, she used to talk about working at 'The Big House', would any of the folks reading this know where that was?
Thank you.

i have just found youre page regarding my grand parents.Unfortunately i never knew them.I was born in Aldershot in march 62.My father was Ronald John Fairminer,who i believe was the second youngest of 11.My father passed away in1995 after a short illness.My wife and i live in Colchester,Essex now but still go down to Farnborough to see friends quite often.I am afraid i have very little information regarding our grand parents,but i hope my little piece of news was some help.
