nice to hear from you harry, hope you are keeping well. Your mum was a realy good freind as was Vera. Your comments brought back happy memories.
HI Marion,I was realy hoping that you would reply,and that you and yours are keeping well.We do go back a long way,butI have one BIG question I would like you to answer,who was Betty Abbledabble??? and yes I do still remember what YOUR nickname was!!
Well Jean dad was a very good joiner so probably made the door, it was painted red I think. Mum, dad and me lived with grandma and granddad from 1947 to around 1954 (when I was 7 years old)and then moved to 22 Scholefield Lane, next door to you as you know.
Hi Aunty Marion, you will have to tell me what your nickname was. I'm sure mum would have known it but she never told me. Did mum have one??? Tell me next time I see you.

Hi Joe yes that is John Molyneux who was my grandmother's brother and he lived at 37 Linney St. If you look under people, Molyneux, more of Gt Uncle John.
