Missingham Stories

Fred married Mary in 1951. Yes that was her full name, she used to say being No. 6 child her parents had run out middle names. Mary was from the Missingham clan and there was quite a number of them. Eight altogether, seven who survived to adulthood. This meant growing up with lots of aunts and uncles and heaps of cousins. I Remember some, but not all of the stories I heard growing up. I hope that this page will catalyse a discussion amongst the cousins and allow a collective oral history to be captured for all. The Anthon’s are part of the Missingham clan by dent of marriage and so are the Wilsons, Hintons and Limonds who also married into and joined forces with the Missinghams and then those other families that have married into the Missingham clan.



Missingham Photos

I fear I have fallen into the trap of having a lot of random photos, some older than others, but with little or fading knowledge of who is in them and when or where they were taken. Please help.
