hi cousin liam here.

your father and my fatherand theother children where brought up from childhoood at no. 8 .The family then moved to no 12 e(date to be confirmed ) When my parents married in 1947 they lived at no 8 before buying and moving to durham road. no 8 continued to be rented but remained empty.no 8 was purchased by your grand mother in 1978 and it was inherited by rory in. 1980.  rory sold it in 1990s (approx)
no8 remained empty from lated 1940s to date of sale.

no 12 was rented by your grand mother from the pembroke estate. On her death in february 1980 Rory attempted to have himself made the tenant of the house.
The pembroke offer to sell the remainder of the lease on the house to him. rory could have then started legal procees to buy the freehold of the house. He did not act on this opportunity and following long corresspondence from the pembroke estate's agent to which he did not reply the  agent's arranged fro the sale of the house and so Rory had to leave the house. Alice had died in 1985 and Rory ,now aged 55/56 found himself homeless as no 8 was now not in a habiltal state. Rory went tolive with his late sister's former boyfriend Joe Shiels wher he lived until his death in nov. 2005. So the loss of no 12 was not due to out dated english land laws but simply due to rory not availing of an oportunity to buy the house that up to then had been rented by his late mother. FIN
