Narrative

Eliza Jane is the only grandparent that I remember much about, and the last surviving one. She was 92 when she died.
She had ways of speaking and mannerisms that I have more recently identified as Cornish. She did everything "dreckly", spoke in a slow deliberate way and had a wicked sense of humour.
She was probably named Eliza after her paternal grandmother Eliza RALPH (known as Granny RALPH) and Jane after her maternal step-grandmother Jane GREGOR (nee DUNSTONE known as "little Granny").
