I won a few comps in school for my essays....maybe I inherited something from him, my dad was a good story teller and avid reader. I can not remember my mum ever reading a book....she was the mathematics queen like my brother |

I have the will of my 4th gt grandfather but can't find any for most of my pedigree. Very little to leave. |

My parents and the set of grandparents who were still alive when I was young were all keen readers. I have a couple of my Gran's books and the book Dad was reading when he died - The Battle for Crete (I think it's called). He was there cos he left photos albums behind containing lits of photos of that time. :-D |

Pat, I was lucky, County Records have some land documents, and some wills and land documents are kept in the university library. |

I was only 4 when my paternal grandfather died but I never saw a book in my grandparents houses. My dad was the one for books he was atypical of his family but he was the cleverest by a long way. |
