Uncle "Mow"
About 50 years ago, my Father brought a man to our house & I was introduced to him as "Uncle Mow". He was my Father's Uncle & I knew very little about him, or the rest of my Father's family.
His visit lasted about an hour & off he went after shaking hands with me.
I never saw him again & was very surprised when I came across information while I was putting together our Family Tree.
I would like to find out more about Uncle Mow & his life before & after World War 1.
