Hi Brian
Thank you so much for your reply, Cyril was Auntie Brendas husband i think, but do you know who Joan was as i have never heard her name mentioned. i dont suppose you know anyone who has photographs of my Uncle Joey do you as i would love to have a copy of any to add to my family tree, next time you speak to Uncle David please pass on my best wishes to him, do you have his address as i would love to contact him again, i shall be visiting Bolton again in the Spring as my eldest son Damian lives there and i would love to see Uncle David again, i will be calling in to see Uncle Geoff also while i am there.

Kindest regards Gill

My late uncle Sidney Daniels was a survivor - he died in 18/09/1998 - I was fortunate enough to have visited him in 1984.
