1895 Father
1896 Mother

That is such an incredible thought now, how things have changed in that time. My father actually fought in WW1.

Both my parents were born in 1907.

Both of my parents were born in the same parish in 1923.

So many of these couples have a father older than the mother. My parents met at university, so they were the same age. 18 when they met, 28 when they married.

Dad 1921
Mum 1930

In later years Mum felt the almost 10 years difference was too much. In older age she was keen to enjoy travel but he refused to fly.

Dad 1918 and Mum 1922, they both died in the 70's following many years of ill health. I've lived longer than either of them but really never got to know either of them before they died as they were always rather "distant". I have a completely different relationship with my daughter!

LadyGracie Tue 18-Apr-23 16:01:03

Both 1923. They lived opposite each other, married at 19.
