My memories of Lillian Alice Catherine Jones.
I was very fond of my Aunt Lil, as she was known to me. I remember going to her apartment in Tower Hamlets many times with my mum. I used to enjoy talking to her about the family tree, I wish I had written some of it down so that her memories could still be enjoyed by others.
Another of my memories of Aunt Lil is from when she & her sisters, Maud & Marie were all together at family parties. The three of them would all sit together with their arms crossed under their ample bosom, pushing their bosoms up whilst gurning. Very much like Les Dawson & Ray Barraclough used to do in their Cissie & Ada sketches. It was a truly frightening sight. This was generally preceded by a small glass of sherry & followed by just one more small glass of sherry.
