Uncle Fred

I was going to ask you about Uncle Fred. He died a few years ago. His first wife was Aunty Jean who died. After quite a long lonely period he remarried Mabs and he was very happy with her. He lived in Waddington. Southern Lincolnshire heights. Near RAF Waddington. On the road to Grantham. He was Grandad’s cousin. My first cousin once removed. Your first cousin twice removed. If Uncle Fred had had any children then they would have been my second cousin and if he had had any grandchildren then they would have been your third cousin. Would Uncle Fred have been single on this day? Was his wife around? He would have been a widower. Did you see him often? He was an ambulance driver. If he was ever in the area. Same way that he was a postman and he would pop in. Now and again. Not regular. He is only in one photo because he was filming the photographs being taken.
