This is the story of my great-uncle, Danny Walsh. The only photo we have of him was taken just after he recovered from the measles in the 1930s. Not long after, a simple moment in the kitchen turned into a family disaster — a pot of boiling tea was on the table, he grabbed the tablecloth, and everything changed in seconds.

I’ve spent years collecting these stories so they’re not forgotten. These are the moments that shaped our families — the real lives, the accidents, the struggles, and the things nobody writes down.

If you love family history, real stories, or old Liverpool memories, follow along — I’m sharing every piece I find.

My two Great Uncles - they never spoke to each other!

29/11/2025

Bill and Jack were my two great uncles. They lived together their entire lives in the same Liverpool house they were born in — yet they never spoke to each other as adults. Nobody in the family ever knew why.

But even in the silence, they still looked out for each other. Bill would quietly leave a pack of ci******es on the table for Jack every day, no conversation, no acknowledgement… just a small act that showed the bond was still there.

This video is a glimpse into their story, and a reminder of how much can sit behind closed doors in our own family histories.

My nan, Winnie Jones, wasn’t following trends — she was setting them.
Long before magazines told women what to wear, she created her own style on the streets of Liverpool.

In this video, I share a glimpse into her life, her elegance, and the quiet confidence she carried everywhere she went. She wasn’t wealthy, she wasn’t famous — but she dressed with intention, pride, and personality. That’s what made her unforgettable.

If you’re tracing your own family history, you’ll know how powerful it is to uncover these small moments… the ones that show who our relatives really were. Their stories aren’t written in books — we bring them back by telling them.

Thanks for watching, and if you love real family stories, you’re welcome to join me as I uncover more of my ancestors’ lives through photographs, archives, and research.

“My nan wasn’t just fashionable — she was fearless.

She created her own style long before magazines told women what to wear.

These old photos hold stories… and I help people uncover theirs.”
