burial records in Walsall England

[lizdb]

It would have been fairly unusual for a married woman to work in that era. So your Mum could well have had fond memories of spending time with her mum during the day, as a child, in school holidays.
I know I have such memories of similar times with my Mum.

Good luck with getting a passport- I have an American friend who tried to do the same,to get her mum's 1940's UK passport to confirm some things.

They said they didn't have any records from that time.

I'll let you all know if I get lucky and get the passport.  I was able to google a picture of my possible brother's home.  It's quite lovely.  Tudor style - also my favorite.  Another coincidence???  If the Pinches are my grandparents do you think it will be possible to find their graves?  That is what started this odd journey.

Would it be ok to just give you my first name?  Dickensfan is a bit lengthy.  If not, that's fine.

Yes please do Diane

Thank you.  As to my dad, mom met him during her travels when she stopped in New Orleans.   He was seven years younger than her and Italian.  They were together until dad died and she never remarried. Diane

Thank you Liz.  You've been extremely helpful and kind.  Diane

I can't find the section in my search where someone gave me the names of Eileen Pinches' siblings.  I've been a bit overwhelmed by all the information (and content) and I'm still getting accustomed to the site.  I apologize for the inconvenience.  thank you, Diane
