Since my dad died many years ago I have lost touch with his side of the family, until just a couple of weeks ago when two of my cousins, who I haven't seen for over 20 years, turned up at my mum's funeral at Overdale - they had seen the announcement in The Bolton News.

I very much regret that I didn't get Ken and David Allen's current contact details.

I moved away from Bolton a long time ago and have lived abroad for most of the past few years, I was surprised but delighted to see them, and would like to hear from them and find out about all the other relations on my dad's side of the family.
