All mothers feel no doubt that they have achieved something special as they hold their new-born babies in their arms. But these three young mothers are especially
remarkable.
They are sisters, and they had their babies
in one week in Stonepark maternity hospital
at Beckenham, Kent.
Mrs. Jean Fulker was the winner of the family baby stakes. Mrs. Fulker, 27, of Walllngton, Surrey, gave birth to a girl, Angela Jennifer, on Friday, April 18. On the following Monday, 24-year-old Mrs. Brenda Wilks had a boy, Nigel Richard. It was the fourth child for Mrs. Wilks, who lives in Bromley, Kent. And last Thursday, 20-year-old Mrs. SylviaSearle, of Penge, London, produced Denise Jane, her second child. Another sister, Mrs. Joyce Coote, just missed joining them. She had a girl in the same hospital last month.
Of course, Jean, Brenda and Sylvia might
not be so pleased about the closeness of their children's birthdays later on.
April is going to be a wicked month for birthday parties

Sunday school children and their circus theme joined carnival time in Holmfirth as churches in the parish combined to provide a procession of floats. Brightly decked floats from church groups at Holy Trinity Church, Holmfirth, St Andrew's Church, Thongsbridge and Choppards church, paraded from Thongsbridge to the centre of the township, lead by Paddock Youth Band. In Holmfirth there were stalls selling sweets, cakes, books along with sideshows, games and a wheel of fortune and prize draw. Winners of a children? art competition were presented with their prizes. The annual carnival was held to raise money for general maintenance at the churches. 1st June 1985
