Yes, but Vi was a half sister - there were 5 Gibson children - Jimmy - Vi - George - Dorothy - Joyce who died in infancy.
Mams first husband died and when she married my dad (who up to that, dad had never married and as far as we all know there werent any children????????) they then had two more children - Eunice & me, so we all have the same mother.
In truth I grew up and always talked about them as "full" brothers & sisters.
Vi went to the USA in 1945 - still there - her husband died last year - she has 3 adult children & 7 grandchildren.
Jimmy died also last year. George died around 12 year ago.
Dorothy lives in Yorkshire, Eunice & I being from the Houghton side.
In truth I didnt know Vi - she went away when I was a kid - she came back for the 1st time when I was a teenager - we came from a different era - I didnt know who she would be talking about no more than she would know my friends.
She made it plain she objected to me having a drink & smoking, so that didnt go down too well.
Thanks MECCY - God Bless.
