I probably did back then and I've been trying to kick start my brain cell into action, but no joy so far.
Your lucky I could remember Jims dads first name!
erm, what was it again? I'm sure it was on the tip of my tongue a minute ago, Hugh, erm Francis, no it's gone I'll get it before the nights out.
P.S. Jims dad (Mr. Mclean) always lived up Dill Hall, just up from the traffic lights on the right hand side if that helps.

I think you're onto the wrong family, Ian.
I don't think you're related to me and Flashy.
There's no Eva McLean (nee Seed) in our family.

Re: Mclean family
I've only traced my side of the family but I'll see what I can find. Give me some names from your side as they might ring some bells
