Hi Susan, I am responding for your enquiry for your uncle Ken. I know the whole family, they were very good friends of my parents Tom and Winnie, and my aunt Rose. My cousins were Malcome and Stan, Mavis, Linda, Ann and Johnny and Tommy. It would be good to hear from you. My brothers were Jack and Brian and we lived in the flats. You did a job for my dad when you were a kid. We lived on Mount Road then and you had to crawl under the floor boards to take some cable for a wiring job my dad did. Do you remember. Sorry to hear you are not well, me too, but I am 71 years old, so what else do we expect. Write soon. Doreen
Hi Susan, bit late to the party, but I knew your uncle Kenny when I was a girl. We lived about 4 doors down from the Copes. Ken was a lovely bloke. He helped me out one time when I was babysitting; I couldn’t turn the gas cooker off, the knob had come off in my hand and gas was gushing out. I ran out in the road shouting, and Kenny ran in and sorted it out. I lived at 21 Sutton Road, the Ward family. Cheers, Marilyn
