Re: Great Uncle Ron
Nah, he was only a young man when he left Liverpool, travelling East, doing a bit of ducking and diving through Derbyshire and Notts on the way. He wasn't married at that time, he'd left behind a young lady that he'd been courting though. She was very upset because she'd gone up to St Helens holy well which had become a wishing well. In the Spring she'd thrown her pin in the well hoping she would be able to see it at the bottom. She had seen her pin lying on the bottom and smiled because this meant that she'd have good luck in her pursuit of a husband. Now that hope had gone, she wasn't to be Mrs Cusworth.
