The relationship with mums cousin was only rekindled in 2009 after a lapse of some 50 years.
We had a lovely day though we didn't learn anything new. He had never met Sarah Hart unfortunately so couldn't add anything to the photogaphs.
What he did have though, was a tape recording of his dad talking to his sister (my nans brother and sister) in the 1940's. I've never heard either of them speak before as his dad died long before I was born and the aunt died when I was 4. We did visit the aunt when when I was small and she lived in Slaters Homes on Briercliffe Road but I have no recollection of this. They didn't know they were being recorded so it was just ramblings while they did whatever they did before the TV came along...in the days when families did actually talk.
