So this is my Great Grandfather -   James Heaney, who was born in Ireland in about 1868.

He came to England sometime in the late 1800's and is pictured here with his wife Mary, their three daughters and, in the middle, their son (my Grandad) Daniel - who was born December 20th 1901. 

Here is my Grandad again - Daniel John Charles Heaney.

In both picture he is with his wife Alice and in the first picture they are with their daughter Monica (who unfortunately died soon afterwards) and in the second picture they are with my Dad (another Daniel) who was born March 30th 1926.

And then there was me........

Here I am with Dad (Daniel Anthony James Heaney) and Mum (Rita) - I'm the one yawning.

For the record I was born on April 7th 1959.

There are plenty of pictures of the next generation (i.e. my family) on the Us pages and when I develop this page I'll add details of the other branches of the family - including my brother and sister (Mark and Diane) who were born in 1962.
