My Family 

from the past

 

"They make us who we are today"

 

 


 

My  Grateful Thanks to Paul Davis, David Small and Gordon Reynolds

 for some of the photos on this and other pages

 
 

 


A bit distressed but worth a look, taken about 1920

My Father Frank Biswell with his sisters, I think that standing on the left at the back is Aunty Win and next to her is Aunty Rhoda, sitting at the front is Aunty Doris or Aunty Gwen?, and the baby there, I don't know, it could be Aunty Marge

Don't forget that you can right click with your mouse and save any of these photos to your computer by selecting "save picture as.."

 

Aunty Rhoda on the left and Aunty Win on the right we don't know who the lady in the center is, do you?

Standing at the Back Left to Right Shelia Braund, My Mother Maura Biswell nee Dowling, Aunty Rhoda, Tony Reynolds, My father Frank Biswell, Aunty Gwen Aunty Win. Front row right to left Nina, Gordon Reynolds, and Sheila's little sister Anne. There is a pair of small feet in between Gordon and Nina, I wonder who that is? the lady at the front we don't know nor the boy on the far left

Why worry about tomorrow,
And the rising of the sun.
Or anguish over past mistakes,
That cannot be undone?

 

Why waste life's precious moments,
On things that bruise the heart;
When today is ours to fashion,
Into a work of art?

 

Today comes but once, my friend,
It never returns.
So use it wisely while you can.
There is a lesson you may learn.

 

Let history, record the past,
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best.
With what you have today!
