  • Notes 
    • Bill and Mary Keyworth lived at 3 Skirkbeck Drive, Saxilby, Lincolnshire. When Bill & Dot travelled over to Great Britain in 1970, they went north to Lincolnshire to track down his relations. They decided to visit Bill & Mary Keyworth first in Saxilby.

      Mary was at home but had to go out. Bill was working at the local fertilizer works so Mary directed Bill & Dot [from NZ] to visit Bill's uncle George Ward. Uncle George lived on Lincoln Cathedral hill in Lincoln. Initially Uncle George and his wife's reception was rather cool and reserved but later they became more relaxed and warm as Bill explained fully as to who he was and where they had come from.
      Uncle George asked Bill & Dot to stay for tea. Later Uncle George took them to visit one of his sons also called George. Like his father, he also had marred twice and one of his sons was a panelbeater in London.

      We took many photos of them and their home. Bill died not long after we returned to New Zealand.Whilst there, we also met Bill's sister Mary Keyworth who lived nearby. She married Bill Horton.
