Silly me!!
I posted that lot and forgot all about it.
It is about 15 years ago that Mr Gaynor died. At that time, we were no longer neighbours, although we still knew each other. If I remember rightly, his full name was Gordon Martin Gaynor. Unfortunately, I have no real idea of his age, or where he came from. Although age-wise I would guess upper 60\'s to 70\'s.
He lived in Wallasey in the UK (just over the river from Liverpool) and, for some years, ran his own mini-coach service, called Martin\'s Motors. I don\'t know how many children he had, but I do know of two. The older boy lived away from home when they moved there - in Australia I think - and I don\'t remember his name. Although, he did return home about 1988 to 1990 (that\'s a guess. I did meet him a few times around that time). He then spent some time working in South Africa. It was the younger boy, Barry, I knew. I moved away from Wallasey, to live in North Wales, in 1978, returning to Wallasey 10 years later.
During my absence, Barry was killed in an accident on Liverpool docks. That would have been sometime between 1980 and 1985. He left 1 child, a daughter, Leonie. That is as much as I know about them, I\'m afraid.
As for Bill Wilkes. He was the office accountant for the Liverpool branch of a company called MacAndrews - a shipping company dealing between the UK and Spain. I know he was resident in Wallasey (again), because I gave him a lift home from work on more than one occasion. I left MacAndrews in 1974 and never had contact with him again. One thing I can say is that there is still a W. A. Wilkes listed in the local telephone directory. Whether this is the same person, I have no idea.
