Help finding photo of nan?
I think your readers can help me in my search for a photograph of my nan, Lydia Mary Walker. I've just gone through the toughest time in my life - my husband passed away 17 months ago - and my mum Brenda Cheadle has always been special to me but I really didn't realise how special and precious she is until now.
My mum had nine children herself, six sons and three daughters, but has no memory or picture of her mum at all. My nan died when my mum was two.
My nan was born in Bournemouth and I've done the search in their papers, but without luck.
Now I'm trying closer to home and I live in the hope that someone has got a photo of her.
My nan's name was Lydia Mary Williams and her married name was Walker. She married Thomas Oswald Walker and they lived at I Plowden's Passage, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury.
My nan died there in 1933, aged 42, and my grandad died in 1938 aged 41.
They had three sons - Charlie, Lenard and Jimmy - and my mum Brenda, then they all got split up.
My mum is 76 now and not in very good health, and I can't think of anything more special than to be able to give my mum her mum.
