Mexborough & Swinton Times, June 21, 1941

Uncle and Nephew Serving

A popular figure in sporting circles in the Mexborough and Swinton area, Pte. Stephen Kerry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kerry, of 131,Queen Street, Swinton, is now serving in the Army.

Before joining up “Steve ” was of for over 20 years an employee of the “Times” Printing Co., Mexborough, and was a competent linotype operator.

Although 35 years of age, he had until quite recently been engaged in sporting activities, having played regularly both at cricket and football with the ” Times ” team. Before this he had featured in many local teams, and was a member of the successful Swinton Wesleyan team several years ago.

Another member of the family now serving is Guardsman Parker Stables, 20- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Parker Stables, of Queen Street, Swinton, and nephew of “Steve.” Parker worked at Yorkshire Tar Distillers, Kilnhurst, before volunteering for a Guards regiment last year.

Like his uncle, Parker is a keen sportsman and had played with the works team, and since joining up he has developed into a cross country runner. Both uncle and nephew have settled down to their new life, and are enjoying their experiences and the knowledge they are gaining.
