And the email response was from my Uncle (on Dad's side) in Southampton who I don't see a lot. Found out some good stuff from him also, including how he ended up in Southampton instead of in the Leigh Park/Havant/Portsmouth area, and also that my cousin now lives in France with her partner and young baby. Turns out that not everyone met in the working men's club either! My uncle was working in Currys, and my auntie began working as a Saturday girl and his workmates bet him that he wouldn't ask her out, and he did.
Have emailed another auntie on my dads side, and will email my other uncle as soon as I find out his email address from my auntie. Then it's just my nan to interview and I'm done on the interview front.
Visually, I'm still working on my map with the dots, considering using different layers of tracing paper or acetate for the individual families within the whole family. I'll experiment and see what happens. Getting a huge pin board tomorrow as well so should be able to work better with the map being on that.
That's all for today!
