      Hi John,
      So pleased to see this information online; we are cousins, uncle Fred was my uncle too! He married my auntie Beryl but was sadly killed before I was born.

      I have sent a photograph to the website for them to add to his page.

      I have some other photos of their wedding, feel free to get in touch if you’d like me to email them to you.

      Warm wishes,
      Jean
