Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write to me. My mother Joyce Coverdale died in 1996 and although i do remember her talking about her cousin Bill being a wrestler i unfortunately never met him. I am one of eight children and was born and grew up in the south of Manchester and it would have been impossible to transport so many children on buses that far. My mother was one of nine and they mostly lived in North Manchester and it was tbrough one of my mothermothers cousins who recently enlightened me to my connection with Bill Coverdale. I know his wife was Annie and she made dresses for the family and tgey had no children. I would be very interested to find out more and if i do i will certainly post on here. I have a brother who looks a lot like Bill Coverdale and unlike me he is a big gentle giant which is how Bill Coverdale'Coverdale's cousin Norma described him to me. Thank you again Alan Teague

Bill Coverdale was my mother's first cousin. His name was William Burton Coverdale and was born on 6th December 1920 and died in June 1974 aged only 53. Although he was billed Australian he was a Manchester man. He had a pub later in his life called The Bridge on Manchester Road in Bury in Lancashire. My mother was Joyce Coverdale and he was a gentleman. Thank you Alan Teague
