My mother Elizabeth was engaged to Dave Bolton in the 50 s whilst he was playing in Australia her mother sent a telegram to inform Dave that Elizabeth was playing away(with my father).

Hi Mike, have you had any luck getting in touch with your grandad? David Bolton's mother and my grandad were sister and brother.
