Sad News from Kelly & Waugh Families of Bootle

Many of the Bootle and Liverpool relatives will know of the Kelly family from Canal Street, Bootle. There were 8 children, and several of the Murphys were at school with them. I went to school with Jim, and Therese with Margaret Kelly (MBE) or Margie. I am sure our Rita and Susa went to school with some of the sisters. Margie is best known for her prodigious swimming achievements, and won a silver medal at breastroke at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Margie has told me that her older sister Pat passed away at the end of last year, shortly after her 60th birthday.
Margie also told me that another member of a large Bootle family passed away just after Christmas. Cathy Waugh came from a big family of girls, her sisters included Joan and Margie. Teresa Kelly attended the funeral on the 4th of January.
We all offer the Kelly & Waugh families our sincerest condolences, and may Cathy and Pat Rest In Peace. God Bless.
