Hi Gordon I remember meeting Dixie at the Dublin Packet in Chester when he was the Landlord a thorough Gentleman and so unasuming some of the tales he told would curl your hair he used to go to the games on the tram as did Dave Hickson my friend still runs Dave and his wife to events in his taxi (Both too good for our present teams ) Cheers George --- On Thu, 16/9/10, Gordon Evans <gordon.w.evans@btinternet.com> wrote: From: Gordon Evans <gordon.w.evans@btinternet.com> Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] (no subject) To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, 16 September, 2010, 22:52 Hi again, George Further to my last post, just over two and a half years ago I managed to establish contact with a John DURHAM (b1938 Scalloway, Shetland Isles) who is a direct descendant of George Edwin TURTLE (b1887 Tranmere) and Elizabeth LACEY (b1884 Sutton, St Helens) via their daughter Kathleen Mary TURTLE (b1914 Heswall) who married James Robertson DURHAM (b1911 Schoolhouse, Lerwick, Shetland Isles) on 7 July 1937 in Heswall St Peter. As an old-time football supporter (albeit of Liverpool rather than Everton) you'll no doubt appreciate this extract of an e-mail John sent me in March 2008 :- >My parents met at the Northern Hospital in Liverpool where my father was >working immediately after graduating in medicine at Edinburgh University. >Occasionally the famous footballer Dixie Dean turned up on a Saturday >evening to get a minor injury attended to. No physiotherapists in the >changing room in those days. My mother was a nurse, as was her mother, >Elizabeth Lacey. Bit different to the 'pampering' which goes on nowadays, huh?
