I received my paternal uncle's death cert this morning. He died 18 days after I was born. My father was desperate that his brother should see me but it was the terrible winter of '47, and my mother would not let him take me out. So uncle Bill never did get to see his brother's first child.
I got the weirdest sensation on reading his certificate, when I saw that it was my father who had been in attendance and our old address was on the certificate.
I also discovered that Bill had lived in the same street as we had all those years ago, a fact undisclosed before.
How the jigsaw comes together!
