Dear Nan

your grandfather was my Uncle Charlie. I am Albert Cox's daughter. I can't tell you anything about your great great grandparents, but I just about remember your great grandparents, that is, Charlie's father and mother. I think I have a photo of them somewhere. Your grandfather and grandmother, Auntie Nina, came to visit England and my parents in the 1950s. My father gave them a silver-topped walking stick that had belonged to his grandfather. Do you still have it?

One of Charlie's sisters, my Auntie Nan, went to live in Hartpury, so there might be a family connection there.

I live in London, I'm an academic historian. My email address is: rosieljai AT clara.co.uk

with kind regards
