Chapter 6 Dublin

We moved to Dublin in December 1968, living for a while in a small rented flat near James Joyce's tower at Sandymount Strand. In the following spring, we made the important decision to buy a house. New homes were being built on the south side of the city and after viewing and organising a mortgage (surprisingly easily) we moved into 69 Clonkeen Estate ( later rename Meadowvale)  in the late spring of 1969. John outside 69 Clonkeen Estate (later Meadowvale) 1969 Several friends and relatives came over on the ferry that year to visit us.  We acquired a dog - a Pembrokeshire corgi called Ceri and I joined Bray Sailing Club, a few miles down the coast.  John  and crew sailing Enterprise 2556 'Ptarmigan', Bray harbour 1970 We had very little furniture or belongings, but gradually built up household necessities by purchase or in several cases making furniture from old packing cases and beach driftwood.  Our first daughter was born in 1970.  Ros had a difficult la...

I joined ATV in January 1971. At this time, Ros and our first daughter were still in Dublin, but I had found a buyer for the house, a colleague at the P&T looking to move from Cork to Dublin. The legal process of the sale moved very slowly and in the meantime I had viewed and decided, with Ros to buy a newly built house in Stourport - on - Severn, 23 miles west of Birmingham. Daughter number two was born in Stourport. The preparation and delivery could not have been more different from her older sister's birth the year before and I was present to see my second child enter the world and able to hold her minutes after she was born. Margaret with her first granddaughter, April 1971 54,Stagborough Way, Stourport, 1971 I drove over to fetch Ros and our daughter on the ferry in January 1971, but it was May before we moved into the Stourport house.

John William Brown b 1850, Westminster, London.

Update 11 Feb 2023 His life after 1889 was a mystery, until Tessa Readman discovered that John Brown had a parallel existence as Philip Gordon a fairly well known late 19th century comedian and Shakespearean actor/Stage manager . Details to follow John William Brown was a mystery to members of his family in America. He was known to have been born in England, but after the death of his wife Elizabeth in 1889 in Philadelphia USA, he apparently disappeared from the lives of his family including his children.  I (John Winchurch) only knew of his existence from family history research done by my father Vic Winchurch. There was no record of John in Britain after the UK census of 1871 when he was 21 and living with his mother in Birmingham (UK) Vic's mother, my grandmother, was born Marion Brown and was John's niece, but I do not recall her ever mentioning him, even though she and her sisters Nora and Millie had a good deal of knowledge about their family history.  The pieces of the ...
