  2. I don’t know if you still need this info @Canny lass but thought it may be useful in the genealogy regards. I briefly remember him myself but I was very little (4-5?) when I visited in the Hartlands. His first name was George and he was the son of Christopher (Kit) McGregor and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Tweddle. Lizzie was the daughter of George & Grace Tweddle. Both Kit and Lizzie lived at 9 Cragg’s Buildings in 1921–Kit being a boarder. Geordie was born on 18 July 1923 at Craigs Buildings. His parents at the time lived at Liddle’s Yard. By 1939 him and his parents lived at Yard Row. They then moved to the Hartlands. His grandmother Grace died at 101 Hartlands in 1957. Geordie died in Sep 2008, there is a headstone in Netherton Lane Cemetery. I’m not sure about Kit and Lizzie, though. His uncle (George Tweddle) has a headstone at Netherton and is buried with Grace Tweddle.
