Date Created16th November 2019CommentsAnita Thompson Tess, that's interesting! I wonder if the Haddock is one of ours and if the Shrives is one of Harry, Mary & Frank's clan?
Sue-Ann Griffiths Anita the Shrives is Harry’s Mary’s and franks grandparents. Joe was Supers father.
Mary Fenemor Yes our Dear Old Grandad Joe Shrives
Anita Thompson Mary, I wondered if the Haddock was any relation to Mum? She was a Haddock from Hari Hari and south.
Mary Fenemor Anita Thompson Must ask Elaine in Next, phone call ,I do remember She had spoken about Haddock Family, many a time.

Beverley Rooney Steven Shrives my grandmother was Annie (Gilbert) and she was a sister of joe B Shrives who married Molly Butcher
Lynda Pope How wonderful! Alice Ada Goulding was my grandmother. I wonder how old she basin this photo. All the others I have ever seen of her are in her old age, well, maybe not, perhaps she was just old to me. The Haddocks and the Shrives, I remember my parents speaking of them often. The Haddocks are part of our family tree, not sure if the Shrives are related. My sister, Merle Brown would know, she has extensive research on our family tree.
