Many thanks for your response, but the R Butroid I was referring to would be Roy's Uncle (Bob)Who lived with his wife Fanny at No.15 (I think) Gringley Road. Their house was behind the main house. He worked for the council, painting road signs and also kept chicken and pigs and also had a horse and cart. His wife was my late mothers sister. They had no family. He had leg irons on one leg, which made him limp quite badly. They also were a lovely couple. I remember Roy and his wife, although I didn't know them well, just saw them when we had holidays there. I married in 1964 and I have always lived in Cleethorpes. Again, many thanks for your reply. Noreen
