My great grandparents on my mum's side: Esther Hill (13 November 1900 to 26 September 1986) and Austin Wilson (4 February 1900 to 24 June 1993).
They married on the army base at Colchester and had two children - Jean Elizabeth Wilson (later Saunders, my grandma) and James Gordon Wilson.
They were both cremated at St Helens Crematorium.
