Re- Leo Hughes
Leo was my uncle. His mum and dad were my grandparents- Joseph and Lucy-who had the undertakers.
Uncle Leo was one of 5 children. Oswald -died in his twenties I think, Kathleen - became a Benedictine nun at the age of 16 and died about 7 yrs ago, Tony- who was the woodwork teacher at Holy family and then my mum- Sheila Claire (Banks),
We lived in Africa for a while- but he was a very interesting man - he had been a monk at Buckfast Abbey in his youth. He also worked at Bletchley Park.
Sorry- couldn't resist joining this group just to clarify matters.
