Dear R. Wilson
You are my cousin or second cousin. My father was the late Cyril Beswick. He was the son of John James Beswick [John/ Jack] and Mary Manning. The eldest daughter was Winifred, and the other daughters were Agnes, who died two or three years ago, Helen and Margaret. The Boys were William, who died young, John and Cyril. There were others who died young, such as Veronica, who died at eight days. The family lived in West Gorton, Manchester, near Gorton Monastery, St Francis' church, to be precise.
Margaret married my father's friend, Alf Wilson, and emigrated to Australia.
Beswick is an ancient Manchester name.
