Hi San, I know this family Cliff James was our next door neighbour in Hawne Lane Halesowen, I looked up the Marriage details:-

Cliff James Married Muriel May Sherrett 4.0.1923 H/O Witnesses were
Lily James, Hilda Sherrett, Walter Billingham and Edie Sherrett. Father's were Herbert James and Edward Sherrett. Address 63 Cherry Street Halesowen.

I remember he wore a flat cap and was a prolific gardener, threw a bucket of water over our Cat who used his garden for a toilet..............happy days from linell.

Not very happy for the cat!!

<Lol> Jimmy, no the Cat was not happy. Funny the things you remember, must be getting old when I actually knew people who are listed on here Best Wishes linell.

That's great Linnell, by looking at the later marriages I hope we find more neighbours that we knew, just like yours
