A Peep into my Mum's Past

My mother whose name was Isabella Jane Kinley, her maiden was Spence and was born in Dublin on the 16th June 1906. Mum lived there for a while before crossing the sea with her parents to Liverpool. She then moved to Hull, back to Liverpool and eventually across the Irish Sea to Londonderry where I was born. Then across Northern Ireland to Cloughfern and lived the rest of her life in that area but also moved another 5 times.

Inside the Album on the left is a selection of photographs from my mum's past. When you think about it my mother had lived through two World Wars and in the second one, mum was bombed out of her house. Mum was living at 28 Salisbury Street in Birkenhead and was underneath the stairs when the bomb landed and blew part of the roof off ! The reason mum was there instead of being in the bomb shelter was that a man kept complaining about my sister crying.
