His wife was my great Auntie Lill Bahr. Their children are my Mother's second-cousins. I remember Auntie Hazel, Auntie Winnie and Auntie Eileen. Grantley was the son of Eileen, I think, and was about my age. We played on a tricycle. I must have been 2 or 3 years old. c. 1945. Mum was very close to her Conner cousins. BLS.
