  Mum’s family and Lizzie and Mat where “quite close”. Mum used to go them every Christmas when they were young. They would make a fuss of Mum and Harry (Cliff was not there or was just very quiet?) as they had no children of their own. Liz would make trifles laced with rum and with 6d coins hidden in them. Although mum didn’t like the rum, she would eat it to get the 6d.
  Lizzie has a husky voice and grey-white hair. Mat used to chew egg shells to help his rheumatism. They lived in an old terraced house in Liverpool in the 1920's.
  
  Elizabeth was 28 and single in 1911, so married quie late in life (about 46).
