"My paternal grandmother came with her family from Kilkenny in Southern Ireland around the turn of the century. Poets and peasants is how my mother described them..."
I was born and raised in Stoke on Trent until the age of eighteen when I went to University. I now live in Congleton.
I am divorced with three grown-up children and a gorgeous sixteen month old granddaughter.
After my divorce I decided to re-invent myself and finding a new name was the first stage in my re-birth. My Irish roots have always fascinated me but the search into my family history revealed more than I expected.
My story, therefore, is about the "missing link" known to my family as "Great Uncle Vincent".
