Hi

I have grown up with tales from my father about things him and Nunky did when younger. Upon reading the thread about the Bird in Hand pub it reminded me of Nunky, I recently brought my father back to the forest (his roots) as part of his 80th birthday treat, things have changed, he grew up in what is now 48 North Road just up from the pub and on the opposite side of the pub, as we drove past the pub he said Nunky lived here, but I missed which actual house.

I only know him as Nunky and Dad only ever called him that, I met him once as a teenager.

Dad knows he has died but not really when, or even where he is buried, it would be nice to tell him anything you can find out for me.

If your Aunt has lived there a long time, my Dad left the forest in 1950's
(we are in lincolnshire) but is still a forest boy in heart, his name is Harold Ireland
his older siblings were Flossie, Tom, Hilda, Kath and Dorothy all now deceased.

Be nice to hear from you
