“FAMILY”. Definition – Ancestry; descendants; lineage; clan….
Let me take you to the back-to back slums of Birmingham, 1892.
George Henry Spicer…….
has married Ellen Harwood.
Together they had 12 children. One of these children was Lily.
It was 1922 when Lily…..
….met Tommy.
Tommy and Lily got married.
Lily had two baby girls. The youngest they named Jean.
In 1952, Jean met a boy named Brian.
Brian and Jean got married.
Jean had two little babies. The youngest was a girl and they named her Helen.
This is Helen. Me.
Helen met Bob, and now they have two amazing boys.

Have you written any of your family stories yet? Seriously, what are you waiting for?
One of the very many submissions to The Gallery’s ’Family’ theme this week.
Love this!
Thanks indeed
This is wonderful. I love the fact that you have photos for everyone too.
Thank you Mummy Plum!! Gotta love the story of where you came from!!
Fantastic post, i really Like it, very clever, great pictures too. Doesn’t Ellen look a tough cookie.
Ellen looks as stern as steel, doesn’t she?!! I’m betting with 12 kids she probably was!!!!! Thanks for stopping by x
Wow that is brilliant! I am loving the Gallery posts this week! I love that and it is a great thing to do to put all the photos together.
Thanks Nikki!!
Brilliant job, wow!
Thanks. I’m lucky to have these photos, and treasure them all
Love reading your posts. So many memories and such treasures. x
Thanks for the lovely comment. Now smiling, after a crappy start to the day
I love this! What a treat to see photos going back so many generations.
I’m very lucky to have them all. Thanks so much for stopping by to say hi!
Such a great post! Love all these photos and your family tree. xx
Thanks! few stern faces way back when, but they didn’t have it so easy, I’m sure!!!
Helen this is amazing! I wanted to do something lie this it didn’t have enough photos on me of my past generations. Best post I have seen so far x
Wow Jenny, thanks. Praise indeed. or is mine the only one you’ve read!!?? LOL
Great to see some family history! Thanks.
You’re most welcome, Keith. Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
hi Keith are you related to the brindle and Thompson
This is fab. I so mean to do this – I have lots of photos, I just never seem to have the time – but this is so inspiring!
Inspiring is a first! Thanks. You seriously need to set aside a half hour and try out http://www.saveeverystep.com. My advice – just start anywhere. Maybe with the things and people around you right now. Then gradually work backwards. It’s not as time consuming as you think, and SOOO emotionally rewarding! Delighted you stopped by and enjoyed the post.
Oh this is absolutely wonderful. I literally have goosebumps.
You really are such a sweetie Mrs Scribble. Coming from a blogger that I follow and admire, it’s me with the goosebumps! Hope to meet you at Britmums!
This was…really awesome
Thanks for sharing! Giving me ideas now… 
Good! Get on with it, my friend!!

Like many before me say I have loads of photos to sort through, I even have my great grandfather’s memoirs to rewrite all I need is a little time and a lot of organisation and the job would be half done. Thanks for inspiring me to at least review the situation
Get on with it!!! You truly won’t regret it

Hi Im Nickie (Michaels Mom)
I remember your Grandmother and Mother with fond memories. If you would like I have photos of my Nan (Ada) and our Great Grandmother Ellen. I was born in 1956, Ellen died when i was about 2-3 maybe. She was a lovely happy lady. My Mom adored her. My Nan and your Nan where so alike. Did you ever meet the other Spicer sisters?
Please email me and i will send you photos and info.
