[ If the photo was taken in about 1911/1912, he would have been about 43.  My father also had dark hair and didn’t go bald, or even grey, even in his 80s (he had health issues, but kept his hair colour). I think the lady on the left, looking towards her husband and son (?), is my paternal grandmother, Margaret Hall (née Beverley).  I’m sending you a separate one of her (close resemblance- Chris agrees !) ]

My Dad was a journalist.  His address was 21, Garth Road, Mansfield, Notts.

I’m not sure when my Dad and his mother Margaret moved from Robert Avenue to the new house called “Amanda”, Garth Road (the house was first given the number 21 when I was about 12, I think - it was a new road, still without tarmac, when I was very small).  Clearly they moved after my grandfather’s death in 1930, but I’m not sure whether they were already in Garth Road when my parents married in 1937.  My mother seemed to know the house in Robert Avenue, so it’s possible she too lived there for a while
