Relationship: Paternal Uncle of John Lennon
1918 - 2002

Before the war, Charles often joined Alf and Julia Lennon to sing Italian songs and play piano or harmonica. Alf and Charlie remained close throughout the years.

In 1967, a letter Charlie sent to John in which he explained the circumstances that led to Alf separating from his wife and son played a significant part in the reunion of Alf and John.

In 1989 Charlie wrote and recorded 'Ships of the Mersey', which was played on Radio Merseyside.
