4. Tell us what you know about your Mother’s parents and family Ya Ya?

I stayed with my mother’s parents many times for holidays when we lived in Wales, where we moved to when my mother had TB.

It was strange going from a beautiful detached house with all amenities to their two-up, two-down terraced house with an outside toilet, and if you wanted a bath, the metal bath was brought up from the cellar and filled with hot water from the kettle.

They were both kind and loving, and I enjoyed many holidays with them.

Their names were Harry and Eliza Cook

Here is a photo of me on holiday with them and my Mum
