The child was called Joe after his dad, and Bridie was determined to make a life. "My very first job was at a potbank in fact, but unfortunately I can’t remember the name of it now. "A lot of people don’t realise how important this area was industrially. He later got a higher calling and became a Catholic priest,going to Nigeria on a mission. "Midlanders are very important to the country. I was in a number of different homes before I ended up in Stoke-on-Trent. All he knew was that his parents were from County Kilkenny in Ireland. Eventually Neil's great aunty Bridie did the unthinkable. The two families would 'tell on each other for almost anything'.

This is the only physical connection I've ever had, there have been no photos handed down, no history, not even a St Christopher. He said: “He will hate me telling you this but I got him the job.” Now they are teaming up to learn more about their families, and it's understandable that Neil wants an old pal by his side.
