Also found out that my uncle's parents met in much the same way as the aunt and uncle that we don't speak to anymore did, with his dad being in the navy, being stationed in portsmouth and then met his partner (my uncles mum) while there. Funny how being in a naval area makes people meet in extremely similar ways like that. And also where the Working Mens Club is, is at the end of the road my mum and her sisters grew up in, hence why most of them met their spouses there I suppose.
Another thing cropping up is people moving away into the portsmouth area because the rents are cheap, and then when people decide to have children, then moving back into the Leigh Park area for the bigger houses.
Funny how people follow the same paths in life, no matter how different they are.
