One eyed cat peeping at the seafood store!

Hi Everyone....yes i was that cat today,got a parcel from Salisbury with some photos...my mums sister sent them to me...like a Pandoras box for me.
My mums mother was Henrietta Halke.....i hope to get more info through soon from another family member on my mums side,then hopefully abit of info about her husband,my grandad.
So ime getting a better understanding of my family on both sides...i didnt meet my parents(except when very young obviously) until my twenties but it seems my dads side the Barfoots and Ferris,s were Hampshire folk and my mums side were real Wiltshire folk coming from the Wilton,Fovant and Salisbury areas,though i think Henrietta Halke my mum mum came from London originally...hope to find out exactly soon......regards to you all...Lee

I know how you feel, Lee. I've got a similar box of bits as you. And it's only doing my FH, that I've been able to put a few more names to the many faces that stare at me from the box. Oh I wish...........!!

good one Lee I got a box of stuff from the family in Southampton it took a while to take it in .
It was a will back I watch my 18 year old son standing there a image of the photo of my grandfather down to the slight lean to the right that my grandfather has in all the photos sent to me I think it was then I came to terms with my English family .

Hope it brings the joy mine has .
