Some family history............


The complete Snow family.........All 13 children ...PHEW .......!!
The Snow family 1913  
Back Row:- Gertrude, William , Herbert(My Grandad), Martha, Clifford, Edgar, Ethel.
Front Row:- Vincent, Flossie, Margaret Harris, William Henry, Lawson, Harold
Floor:-  Doreen,  George


picture of my Grandad and brothers.........my Grandad Herbert is the one facing the camera with the dark suit on .......

This was a photo believed to have been taken in the 1890's of Snows Builder's yard in Neath .......my Grandad worked at the family business all his life still going into work well into his late 80's he died in his 90's



Edgar Snow one of my Grandad's brothers

Margaret my Great Grandmother.........



William Henry my Great Grandfather.........

Ethel Snow one of my Grandad's sisters


Some things don't change over the generations
Ethel Flossie and Harold..Auntie Flossie was a dancer and had a dancing group ..... as a child I danced in Auntie Flossie's Troupe as it was called my friend Louise and I got the front spots for a lot of the numbers we performed shows all over the place and had a grand old time..........
I believe that it was Harold Snow who bred champion Welsh terriers he took them to Crufts and exported them to America.......

Auntie Flossie was quite a character as you can see from these pics.......



Re-found the website with some of my family history so i've posted some interesting photos of my Grandad, some of his brothers and sisters and his parents and grandparents.......The Snow family had a building business in Neath South Wales where I was born and grew up ....there were 22 children 13 of which survived into adulthood....the link if you're interested is Snow Family
