Hi Again, Yes I knew your grandfather Eric he used to come to our farm when I was just a young boy and he would do magic tricks for us. Later I played guitar with him at the legion in Thistletown. If Eric was your grandfather then your ggrandfather was Harry Parkes and your ggrandmother was Margaret (Maggie)Parkes. Maggies maiden name was Porter and she was my mothers sister.She was born in Belfast Ireland and Harry Parkes was born in Crewe Cheshire England.I have just recently spoke to Marilyn regarding the Parkes family and she told me about going to Italy, she also mentiones going to Ireland. I wish I did have pictures I think I have one of Maggie with my mother and her other sister Lena but I cant put my finger on it right now. PS -I never met your grandma. Good to hear from you, Your cousin Wayne Colton
