Liz met with the Dutsons (Phil and Sue) and Sue's sister, Dot. Just a reminder: they are our third cousins, twice removed, through Hugh's son, John's daughter, Elizabeth, who married Hugh Armstrong.
She says:
On Wednesday, 17 July, I met Phil, Sue and Dot for lunch in the quaint Cotswold town of Bourton-on-the-Water. We ate fish and chips in The Village Restaurant. We hugged all around and had an immediate rapport. I'll be happy to give personal details on them when we meet (just not online).
They gave me a copy of two photos, Lizzie McKenna Armstrong, her husband, Hugh, and their 10 living children. They had 14 altogether. I learned that several of their children had never married. Phil gave me a detailed family group sheet.
We talked about our families, and all acknowledged that it was great to find new family. Phil took a photo of the three cousins, and after two or so hours we parted, committing to staying in touch. We'll share photos at the family meeting in September.
