Sorry I don't know these names. If we are related, it must be from when the family divided around the time the photo was taken. Have you read your messages?

Hello LittleWhittle
My nan and grandad are burried at Wooton Bridge!
My grandad was John Whittle and my nans name was Edwardean. I remember my nan saying she used to do the 'Roll a penny' game when she was in her dads show (we now believe this to be 'Smith and Whittle'). Have a look at page 2 of this post, there is a photo attached. I wonder if maybe we are related?
Let me know what you think!

Thanks

Trevor Whittle

Sorry, but I don't recognise the name Minnie.
We live in West Sussex. We moved down from London just before I was born (1966)
I still have family in London. I will ask my parents for more info!

Regards

Trevor

I might have some information for you :)

I have a newspaper cutting recording the death of Mrs. Rebecca Whittle.
in it there is reference to her husband A. H. Whittle and how they worked in the Smith and Whittle Show
before the 1914-1918 war. Rebecca used to run the shooting range!

I have some other newspaper cuttings......The death of my great grandfather George Alfred in 1942 and another cutting about the wedding of Mr. Herbert Turner to Miss Violet Whittle, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Whittle the well known show people of Blackwater in 1933. Gifts included a Musquash coat and a Wolsley Hornet car.

I am happy to pass on any other information if it helps

Trevor Whittle
