Tom 
and
Norah 
met in the 1930's and married 
in 1942.They settled in a small city called Bury, Near Manchester, in
the northern part of England. The couple produced three children, Sheila,
whom I married, and Anthony both now living in Canada. The youngest,
Patrick, continues to live in England. Tom joined the British Army as
a Grenadier Guard to fight in the second world war. He saw duty in Italy
and North Africa and received the Military Medal during his tour of
duty.
Tom earned his living primarily as a bricklayer while Norah stayed at home to raise the children, sometimes working part-time to supplement their income. Norah went on to realize some of her potential later in life when she became a department manager in a large textile factory.
Tom wrote the poetry contained in this page, Norah contributed the artwork.....Click here to see Norah's art work...
