message for Kathwal

You mentioned on the General posts that your mum sang with Ivy Benson. What was your Mum's name? A friend of mine has a friend who used to go to see Ivy Benson at a little club which was situated at Red Rock railway station, and said a girl from Wigan used to be with the band, but he couldn't remember her name. I wonder if it was your Mum? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Hi Irene, I don't mind at all. Mum's name was Mary (but always pronounced as "Marie")Gerrard.

Thankyou. I will mention it to my friend.

Irene if you wish contact me direct - I'm Julia's friend who you have been speaking to via "E" mail.

Hadn't realised that Kath. Will email when I ,ve spoken to my friend.
