Re: Grandparents

I only really knew my maternal grandmother, my fathers parents being dead. My mothers mothers husband (her first one died soon after WWII treated me just like I was his natural grandfather. Both of them deserved medals, as they more or less brought me up. This was as well as working well into their 70's

They lived on Crown St in a 2 up 2 down, tin bath and outside loo and not much money. At one time they both worked at the AEU club on the corner of Paxton St and managed to combine this with more or less bringing me up.

I only wish they had both lived long enough for me to realise how much time and energy they had spent on bringing me up and to thank them for it
