Hi!
Varlow Addison was my father's first cousin. I have a newspaper cutting about him. My father was John Addison, born 21st June 1913. He was the youngest of five, the others being Joseph, James, Benjamin and Mary. Their father was James Addison, who married Margaret Ellen Birtwell. James, my grandfather, worked at Accrington railway station. The family belonged to St. Andrew's Church, Accrington. My Dad's name is on the scholarship board there. Varlow's father must have been my Grandad's brother. Their father (my Great-Grandfather) was also John Addison. He was a miner and was killed in the Morley Main Pit Disaster. He came from Clayton-le-Moors but had gone to Morley (near Leeds) to look for work.
