Quoted from cubanheel
A while ago, a photo was posted of John with Aunt Mimi on one side of him, and a man on the other. In a subsequent reply, he was identified as Uncle George, but I had understood that George Smith died in 1955. The pic looks 1964/5 ish to me. Am I opening a can of worms or barking insanely up the wrong tree???


No. I think you're just in the wrong thread!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

The girl Paul is hugging on (Bobber's Signature) is Jane Asher. His serious girlfriend during the early Beatle years I believe, they dated for like four years I think?? (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Everybody was sure he was gonna "Marry" her. Thats how well they fit together. But sources say, she was the "good girl", wanted to wait, that sort of thing, he cheats on her once or several times(can't remember) so long story short, she left him. He meet Linda later on and all is history.


"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me."

That was mine. I got it off a web site, so if you doubt the picture, it's because I didn't have a reliable source for the photo. I have been fooled by the Internet! *weeps*

But I really think someone had better post another picture. I've lost my credibility. Bobber, go again?

The mystery deepens... There weren't many photos of Uncle George, so when I saw that one with John obviously a Beatle I was a little surprised, as he died when John was a teenager  -  another in the long line of people who left him in one way or another.

I'm like a dog with a bone on this one! I've looked through all my books, magazine articles, etc, and drew a blank. Then, just by googling "mimi john photo" (not even putting lennon in!!) i came up with this!

http://www.wairarapa.co.nz/times-age/weekly/2008/lennon.html

It explains it all! And also why Mimi went on that Aussie trip, not poor old Cyn left at home with the baby. That has often bugged me. Now I can see it was to meet up with relatives (or as Liverpudlians probably call them  -  rellies).
Phew, I love google!

Your link won't display for me, CH. Can you reveal who the guy was?

sorry bout that, harihead! The man was George Matthews (maybe that's why the confusion?), Mimi's cousin, who had moved to New Zealand. Mimi stayed with her New Zealander relatives during the Beatle's Aussie tour, and this pic was taken in Wellington, NZ by a journalist. Try googling "mimi john photo 1964", it should come up, along with a nice article.
One day I'll learn how to post links and all that jazz, one day!

Thanks for your research, CH. So it's Cousin George. Well, there you go. Good work!

The link works, it just says "SORRY - DOCUMENT NOT FOUND" when the page opens. So something's not right.

Where are we in this game? Does Andy post the next picture, or Cubanheel?
