Your right Dedrah, I just had a sudden flash picture of him. Not the blonde haired lad but still with horse and cart, rough type of character, I remember him giving my parents 3d for an old washing machine . My sister bought a house off him up LongMeanygate in the late sixties. Memories returning, but this isn't the man dotty was on about was it? There's a bit about the sumner family on peter's website.http://www.houghton59.fsnet.co.uk/fest%2004.htm
