General Notes
Sue remembers Winnie saying that they all did there school work (the 3 Rs) on slate with chalk to write.
Dick, Winnie and Joe all suffered with the lazy eye. Winnie had a operation when she was 10yrs old to correct it, It has reoccurred in other parts of the family, including my dad, Walter.
During the war, Winnie left the laundry company and worked with the Woman’s Land Army during the second World War and was posted to Wolverhampton where amongst other things she drove a tractor. After the war Winnie was employed as a Nursery Nurse at Crowcroft Park Children's Nursery, Levenshulme (note: Longsight and Levenshulme are next to each other and often confused). She was employed here till 1952 when she married Laurie.
Winnie and Laurie had joined a over 30's Friendship club before they met each other and went dancing on a Saturday night at the “Pallie” dance Hall in Manchester, which is how they meet.

Connections & Relationships
Relationship Notes
Sue’s family were so proud of Aunt Alice being born in Belfast while Grandad helped to build the Titanic but she was always ashamed of being born in Belfast. We could tell, she always went funny about it as if it made her different from the rest of us, her reaction was to clamp up about it and tight her lips and say about the things her parents were warned not to talk about, namely religion and politics. Sue has great memories of her Aunt Alice as she was often with the family. They went on holiday together, she always stayed at the house over Christmas, Easter, etc. Dad use to call us his Harem, with three women looking after him!
Winnie had some other social relationship with Alice Mather.
