Graham Langton
Wednesday 10 August, 12pm - 1pm
The Langton family in England, and in Auckland from 1887, was fairly ordinary - the males mostly tradesmen and the females housekeeping.
Yet research shows that 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary' are very close in any family, and that while more can always be discovered, frustrations cannot always be resolved.
