Re.Edmund Birchall,I lived next door to your grandmother in Edward St,she lived with her daughter Mary,I remember grandmother's funeral around 1948,they were very nice people.My mother communicated with them in a sort of code by knocking on the back of the fire with the poker,fond memories of those days.
