O.K. then peterd, not strictly genealogy, but here's a challenge I wish to eventually crack. . . .

Apart from finding out about where I came from, I should like to discover what dear Daddy got up to between running away from home in 1913 London to when I was dragged (no doupt) kicking and screaming into the world in a farmhouse kitchen in northern Cumbria in 1949! I suppose the total number of words Dad and I exchanged between me learning to talk and me leaving home to join the R.A.F. could be printed on one single side of a A4 sheet (in quite big letters).

He was quite a secretive person. Cheers, Tony

He did have an old book that he occasionally jotted down wine making or cookery recipies, I found a page or two on how to deal with incendiary bombs and suchlike. I think he may have been in the homeguard, but I never asked the old question "What did you do in the war Daddy! Another family rumour is he had something to do with the Easter rising (a Sherwood Forrester possibly)?

Now you have kindly given me more information than I could have possibly wished for, perhaps you could recommend a device for storing and recording it all with a thought to displaying, printing and adding to it all?

Well, as a 62 year old type two diabetic, I'm used to waking up throughout the night for trips to the 'little boys room', but with all this family information buzzing around in my head, at least I'll have something to think about while trying to get back off to sleep. Thanks immensly peterd. :-)

Cheers, Tony.

The 'old lady' was his sister about 6 years his junior. The trouble was when we saw her she had that ailment that makes your muscles shake and this also affected her voice. I have no doupt she is giving her elder brother a severe talking to!

I did go to London on my own, me, a lad from the far North, while I was in training at R,A.F. Halton, about 1967 to see an Auntie Dolly at New Cross, another of Dad's Sisters.

Cheers, Tony.
