circa 1930

| Minnie was one of the ten children
|
| of William and Eliza. |
| She worked in service in the East End of London
until her marriage at age 21 to Louis Peacock. |
| She later moved to her husband's birth place
of Halifax in Yorkshire. |
| Minnie had three children, Margaret, Bill
and Barbara. |
| During WW2 Louis served in The Royal Artillery
and was one of thousands trapped at Dunkirk in 1940 awaiting evacuation.
Unable to get on one of the large boats he was rescued by one of the
'little ships'. Safely home he learnt that the boat he had initially
attempted to get on had been destroyed by enemy action. |
