NOLAN for stitcher

[Stitcher]

My old neighbour is 85 years old, she heard me talking abou the members who help with research on this forum. She asked me to see if I could find out anything about her dad. His name was Tom or Thomas Nolan, born in 1896-7. My neighbour was born at the familys house in New Summer St. around 1925-6.

Shera, thanks a million for that, the old dear gets confused and I know she will treasure this bit of information.
A few months ago you found out several things about my family and I told you to make uourself known to me and I would get you a dring at the 6os night. I thought you were not there because no one said anything to me. I now see from the photos that you were at The Stag so you missed a drink there as well. I will get it next time we meet.
