hi
   Now you have solved the reason I could not find  Jack Unthank  Because is name was John Thomas
   Yes i remember Jack & Elsie  when thy came to stay at Gran's house 
    Always remember Jack as   a very jolly person always a joker, With sagging coat pockets  because
   he carried beer bottle back from the pub for Elsie,
   
  Have you any photos of my uncle Walter  and  his  son 
   
  The granddaughter in the crescent is Pauline, we still see each other regular.

  Also remember your dads flat cap ,  Andy Capp`s    double

youv got him right, jack / elsie were my grandparents my mother s is there eldest  dorothy shes still living  is 88 yr old now theres just her an her youngest brother peter  left ,
grandads  pockets sagged because he always carried a screw top bottle of beer in his pocket he was a bricklayer and used the beer to slack  his throat against all the dust   that was his excuse  anyway ,he always wore the cap and a white silky scarf around his neck

My g-grandfather, Thomas William Unthank, came to america from Yorkshire England in 1886 and upon setteling in Sprinfield, IL worked as a mule tender in the coal mines. He married Eliza Burris. I beleive his fathers name was Abraham, who was also a coal minner. Could we be related?

I do not know. I just started my research. Family legend has it that my Unthank line was in and around Liverpool, but, I know little else. When I started my research I thought it would be easy, as UNTHANK is a unusual name **HA HA** was I wrong.
