Some interesting stories of all sorts 
A little spooky as my mother didn’t really know her parents, being 6 yrs when her father died & 7 yrs when her mother died……..
My maternal g/parents married 26 Dec
My maternal g/mother died 1948
My mother died 26 Dec 1984 (yr digits in reverse of her mother’s death)
My paternal g g/father b 18 Jul
My paternal g g/mother b 1864
My paternal g g/mother died 18 Jul 1946 (hubby’s birthday & own birth yr in reverse)
My paternal g/mother was b 1882 & my daughter born 100 yrs later 1982
(The only g/parent I met as the rest were gone before I was born)

Just thought I would add another coincidence to this....
My maternal g/parents married
26 Dec My maternal g/mother died 19
48My mother died 26 Dec 1984 (yr digits in reverse of her mother’s death)My mother was cremated on the birth date of my daughter's father 31 DecAnnie
