"My mum and dad were reminiscing about where they lived as children when they came across this picture.

-  My mother is the very Brenda Young, the wee girl who is the very front of the picture.

-  Next to her is May Young, her younger sister.

-  The man in the background in the dark suit is my granddad, Bert Young.
