[granny p 10]

Hi nettie Yes thinking about it I got that a bit wrong It was strange to see neighbours not seen for years and what their relationships are. Yes I.ve seen the photos and we are on a couple myself my husband and my uncle Geoff it was good to see everyone and am looking forward to the book being published.

billyboy Hi bill nice to hear from someone at top o Grimesthorpe.Havn't seen anything of ken or the barstows but often see Mavis and Peggy - Ken's sisters Do you remember the Billams well Alan Billam is writing a book on old Grimesthorpe. Just before Christmas I went to a reunion that Alan had organised and met up with Joan Huckle (she lived next door to Gledhalls shop) Sylvia Dawson and Doreen Thompson was there with the daughters of her younger sisters Jean and Rita. I went with my uncle Geoff - one of the Bingleys who lived just up from your house across the gennel. That top half of Grimesthorpe is unregnisable now.

 

Hi granny p, Would Joan Huckle be Howard Huckles older sister?

[granny p 10]

Hi Dommie Yes Joan did have just the one brother and that was Howard dont know his whereabouts now.
