Where were your parents born and raised?

[Torie]

Davenport, Iowa, and Brooklyn, NYC. My dad after his first wife died of TB after spending ten years in the hospital, married my mother, who was well - his dead bang gorgeous secretary (who came to the big city where her sister was an actress because after WWII she disliked the mad match making going on in her home town and wanted to get more options) a bit before, and then he hit on her - hard. She was 14 years his junior. He was 39, and wanted a family, and well, time was of the essence. And that is why I am here, along with my two brothers.

And there you have it.

My grandfather had a habit of moving from job to job at that time so they moved alot until my dad was 5 or so before they settled down in Monahans, TX where he lived until he went to college in Lubbock (he went to Texas Tech). Right after he left for college my grandparents moved into a very nice one story house in Clyde (my grandmother still lives there to this day, grandpa kicked the can to lung cancer in 1997). My dad has the thickest friggin west Texas drawl ever, even living in Oklahoma for the past 16 years hasn't done jack to change it.

As far as I recall:

My mum was born in Swansea and raised in Sc**nthorpe (the forum may censor the name of that particular town lol).

My dad was born in Southwark and raised around there (Peckham Rye I think) for a while and then in Beckenham.

My mum was born in Swansea and raised in Sc**nthorpe (the forum may censor the name of that particular town lol).

So strange to see Sc**nthorpe appear as such on an internet forum. It usually appears as Sc**nthorpe or something similar.
