The next three pictures are of my Aunt Joyce, my Dads sister who died in a tragic traffic accident aged 24
I never met her as I was born years after.
She is on quite a few of the group pictures, she looks and was a very popular kind and lovely person

The first picture is at my uncle Alfie's wedding to Aunt Rosie Crick
The second is my Dad his brother Alfie and their cousin Mr Jones

I have many pictures, its funny because the big ones wont load onto this site but all the little ones (that I thought were a stupid small size) do.
If you know any of the faces get in touch, the Whittle-Botton connection comes from my Grandmother Sybil and her sister Nelly, as Nelly married Jimmy Botton and moved to Skegness and started the Pleasure Beach Amusements

Hopefully the others come back and see these amazing photos.

Could I please add:

Picture 43... the man with a hat near the photo of Nellie Botton... do you know who that is? Again I can see a resemblance.

Hi

Some more questions:

Back to page 13 and the big picture of all the family together, do you know who the man third from left in second row (with tie and balding hair) is? He looks just like Stanley Whittle in the same photo.

In the wedding photos of Alfie to Rosie, there is a lady in a hat with her hand on the shoulder of another woman. The lady in the hat and the short lady sitting just left and in front of her look alot like my aunt Whittle, I'm just wondering if they're Whittle's?

Thank you.

So Drewy Stevens isn't related? Even though she looks alot alike, I guess coincedences do happen.
