Geoff,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Harry (Henry) Cobbe son of the same name late of Manor Street,Dublin & nephew of Edward( Uncle Eddie ) your deceased Father.I'm contacting you as I have come across old photos of the Cobbe family which feature your Dad, his brothers & also your Mum ( Muriel) which I am sure you would dearly love to see as they are evocative of time & place. I would also like to add that my Dad often reminisced about Eddie.
I may well have your address i.e. 55 Dorset Ave, Glanfield, Leicester oe3830 but as I don't have a telephone no to make contact, it triggered off my search on the Internet, hence, your posting on the web dated 2002. ( " not forgetting Mike , & postings from Jonathan & Sara ) so I'm hoping that this email reaches you ( given the lapse in time )
It's possible we may have an opportunity to link up, as I have arranged to visit my son Paul in Liverpool where he is a student on Tuesday evening the 15 Sept.I'll also be in the UK the following days the 16th & 17th returning to Dublin on the 18th (scheduled flight for 4 pm).I can, if you are agreeable (I'm open to suggestions )travel to Leicester by train on the morning of the 16th,to meet you, bearing in mind that I would have to be back in Liverpool that night.
Unfortunately I have a tight schedule, as Mary & I are away on holidays from the 7th to 12th Sept, so if you could contact me by return email (
marycobbe@yahoo.com)or telephone 01-8347510 ( house no) before say this Friday 6th I would very much appreciate it, as i'd be delighted to know if we could reach accommodation on my travel arrangements, as I don't want to delay any further your family access to these photos. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Cousin Harry
