Obviously older GR members will likely be able to link to people born mid 1800s, I guess. |

Paternal grandparents. Grandad was born in 1871, died in 1961 when I was 8. Granny was born in 1886 and died in 1967, I used to go and stay with them in the holidays. Grandad was a little old man, very deaf. He used to give us half a crown. |

My Nanny Cal (Caroline) who was born in 1894 just abt a month before my Granda Lij (Elijah) just a few doors away. This were my Nan's parents and I spend all my time around at their amazing house til 1973 when they died abt 10 days apart having had 13 children, saw 29 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. Their house had 8 bedrroms - 4 of which ran across the top of another house, this has since been converted to 2 - 4 bedroom houses and in the back room was a black lead range and a massive upright and piano (out of use by the time I came along) me and my cousin and sis used to hide in it. |

I apparently met my Great Uncle David who was born in 1872 although I don't remember. I also met my Great Aunts and I have a birthday card from them written in the most beautiful handwriting. They were born in 1880 and 1882. |
