Today I speak to my Father’s brother, Uncle Frank about the family history, the history of Liverpool, and family links with Ireland. We also consider the importance of horse transportation in the history of Liverpool. Towards the end we hear of the tragic loss of Frank and Collette’s only child, my cousin Paul, of sudden cardiac death.
