Mum And Dad

My mum dad and two sisters and brother lived here, Mum used to walk a mile a day to fetch a pale of water. When I was born we had to move to Stiperstones because the house wasn't big enough, the house at the bog only had two bedrooms, so my brother slept on the landing, till we moved I slept in an open drawer. I would love to hear from anyone who knew my family then. My mum was Phyllis Hotchkiss, my dad was Lincoln Hotchkiss. Thank you, Mike Hotchkiss

RE: RE: Mum And Dad

I have some school photographs of your mother and father- and possibly other members of her family. They were taken in the 1930s. Your mum and my mum were attending the Bog School at the time. Her name was Muriel Smith and she later became Muriel Jones. You may have these photos but if not call me on 01305 889202.
