Hello Gordon, How are you? thanks very much for that Info:- I must admit I did not know all you've told me, and I'm quite chuffed, Imagine having a "Sir" in the Family, things are looking up eh!? I seem to remember reading a bit about the Tunnel, and I recognised the name but didn't know he was ours, so to speak, where does he actually fit in? How about you?, are you due a Gong or Knighthood yet? I'm not, as far as I know. Anyway I'll now have to get this latest Info:- into my Tree, and I'd be very happy to receive any more you're willing to pass on. I wrote to Shirley(Williams Contact?) last night but not heard back just yet, I don't know how she fits in yet, but it will be on the GRAHAM side I reckon. I'll leave it there for now, speak again soon? Regards to you and yours. Walter.

In case you weren't already aware of it can I tell you that these people are in fact your great-great-great-grandparents, Nancy's parents Peter & Elizabeth JONES being plus another "great"? Which means that you are also related to the extravagantly-named Sir Archibald Tutton James SALVIDGE, MP, JP, Privy Councillor, reputed to be the driving force behind the construction of the first Mersey Tunnel. I calculate his relationship to you and I to be 3rd cousin twice removed. (I have a photograph of him somewhere boring through the last section of the tunnel, which I'll try to dig out and send as an e-mail attachment).
