Re: Trying to find my grandfather John Willie Crabtree

Well Wendy, this was the most interesting bit of news so far for me, as Cloggy was there the day my granddad died. Its interesting that he calls him uncle Billie, maybe he went by this name and not John Willie or he may mean Willie. Also interesting, that he backs up what I was saying about the subj...
