Hello Black Eyes, yes that is my cousin Ray, he moved down to Norfolk in the 1980s to work for his son-in-law and has remained down there ever since, he and his wife are now both in there eighties but Ray is still keeping well physically although he has a bit of a short-term memory problem, Brenda suffers from M.E but is otherwise ok, they both came up to Sheffield in the summer to stay with my brother and my wife and I have visited them regularly over the years. Sadly they lost there only daughter to breast

cancer in 1990 and afterwards cared for there 3 grandchildren for some years. He was always motorbike daft.

Hi

I remember Dot she married Alan Strafford who sadly is no longer with us.

In later life Dot became a Sheffield magistrate.

Unfortunately I have lost touch but have many happy memories of them all.
