Today we spoke in Tamworth Ward, and I thought of Allen's aunt Lillian Patten. When she came to our home on Sundays, she sometimes talked about her uncles who lived in Tamworth. She talked of the strong accent in the Midlands. Now we get to hear Midlands accents all of the time!
I remember helping Aunt Lillian find her father as a child in the UK Census. She was excited to see the names of her uncles on the census along with the names her father and grandparents. They were living in Amington, Tamworth at the time. The church is in the Amington area of Tamworth, not far from where her father lived. I feel a connection to Tamworth just because of her.
