Re: Grandparents
My Mother's parents lived in Eire, and my Father's in Skegness.Holidays from school - specifically Easter and Summer hols - were spent with one or the other alternately.Re: Grandparents
Mums parents... both in Sally Army, They ran a guest house in Blackpool. He also had a jewellers shop (I think it was). Played trombone in the S.A.Re: Grandparents
I only knew my grandma who was my mum's mum. My dad was a generation older than my mum and his parents died prematurely before WWII and my mum's dad was about as much older than my gran and he died in 1945 just before the war ended. He'd been wounded in WWI and died of complications from that. I do wish I'd had a grandad I'd known and it's strange that my grandparents died so long before I was born.Re: Grandparents
Both my grandads died before I was old enough to get to know them, but I did have the privilege of both grandmothers.Re: Grandparents
I only had one grandmother but she wasn't a loving kind of lady , we felt she didn't really like kids but she did always send us a 5 shilling postal order for our birthdays . She was a lady and was married and widowed 3 times and liked the men and always wanted a 4th husbandRe: Grandparents
