Both her parents have been dead many years now. She remembers someone coming from Bristol on a moped in the early 1960s to see his Aunt ie her mother Mary winifred nee Bottomley. Lorna was only a child but remembers her parents being very reluctant to discuss family affairs, it seems they gave him a meal and sent him on his way. Lorna believes the family feud was something to do with Emma Bottomley nee Kibble being put in a home by some siblings without consulting the others! I am sure now that this visitor was Peter's father Brian. Please reassure them both that Lornas attitude is very different and she is keen to make contact again after nearly 50 years. i think I have posted a similar message to your Peter on an ancestry message board. Do please trust me enough to email me direct so we can share more, my email address is dochines@btinternet.com Very best wishes Ken Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
