Don't know what happened to my reply but

My Great Uncle was Charlie, brother of Caroline.

And he married Winnie and had Sheila and James

Charlie sadly passed away earlier this year.

I don't know who Joan is, my Nanna had a brother Charlie tho.

And the marriage is right the info all fits x

Would love to know more about my family ! Nanna died in 1996, her Mum a few years before, her Husband John McMain died in 1982.

There was a Vanessa Surtees (very black hair, lots of makeup) who left in 1992.

Lived in Meldon Avenue near the nook, if that helps.
