I like being an Austin!

My middle name is Austin. Rob’s is Michael and Keith’s is Joseph. Anne doesn’t have one. I once asked Mum why Anne doesn’t have a middle name... “she didn’t want one”!!!! That was so Mum! Or maybe Anne could talk when she was a baby??

I share the name Austin with my Grandad (Sidney Austin Ince) and my Great Grandad (David Austin Ince). Me and Sarah once bought Mum a David Austin Rose for the small garden in the backyard at The Ginnel, but Mum was more interested in the label and showed it to everyone who came to visit!

My cousin Chris Norton (Tilly’s second son, Tilly being Mum’s younger sister who lives in Australia) sent me two photographs that I’ve not seen before of Grandad & Great Grandad and I’ve included them in this post. Tricia (my cousin) also sent me a nice photo of Grandma (Mum’s Mum) which I will get round to scanning soon and can then post on the blog.

Chris’s sister Judy has been reading the blog and has left a couple of comments on Anne outside The Ginnel & A day in Ooty Park. Chris sent me the photos after he had also looked at the blog.... so it is doing what I had always intended..... finding a place to share photos and memories of Mum & Dad’s family.... for all the family to read.... great.

    Cousin Chris has sent me some information about family history and I'm not sure if the photo of the chap with the pipe is David Austin Ince or not!

    I'm going to get back to Chris to confirm a few things in his recent email.
