My grandfather's home at 2217 Hampton Avenue, 28 July 2011

This was where my maternal grandparents John Parker and Bessie Chew, lived from around the late 1930s to 1965. My grandparents were originally from Blackburn, Lancashire, England.

My Uncle John and Auntie Muriel lived in the 
upper flat; that is, my grandfather’s son and
his family.

Some old photographs of my father, Edgar Raymond Morrissey, Above: a portrait of my father (mid-1940s), then, below, a photograph taken on a country road (late 1930s). 

Above: ERM, he looks quite young here, so maybe the late 1920s or very early 1930s.
