The big box
-
Ok. Nancy, why don't you take a turn.
-
whaaa??? It's your turn Fan 4.

Just trying to make everyone happy for bunny weekend, but since no reply, I'll go ahead. In the box: Interesting fact is that the person who recently purchased Ringo's home of 20 years that he lived in until he married Maureen, also purchased three other properties since 2014 belonging to which three famous people? Also, which one does she say she will live in and what will she do with the others?

I knew I should have read that article rather than just skim it.
I think she bought 2 other Beatles houses but I don't know which ones.

She also bought another house where a Beatles' related person grew up. So, she owns four houses in all, now.

She plans on renting them out right? I'll try to find that article again.

Well, some of them.

Yep, you got it. The blurb I read in last weekends paper said...Castro & Lennon had something in common - as enemies of the US government. Which is why Castro helped dedicate a Lennon statue in Havana in 2000.
Just found this. John was not an enemy of the U.S. government. He was against the shortcomings in all governments. He is undoubtedly one of the best things to have happened to all good governments and religions on earth. "You were the one they backed up to the wall...all those years ago" ~ George

John, James, Millie, Jane
Yes, John, who they called Jack. James is Jim, Paul's Dad. Millie is spelled Milly, whose real name was Florence Mildred. Jane was Jane Virginia, who they called Gin or Ginny. Others were Edith (Edie), Annie, and Joseph (Joe) There were 2 others who died in infancy (Joseph James and Ann Alice. Both younger than 2 when they died) Your turn!
I looked back to p. 5, and technically oobu answered your question and got it right. She answered what you put in the box, so I concede to oobu.
She only got one correct (I asked for 3) and you got the rest right, but okay.
Technically there was no mention of real or not & no mention of mother's or father's side. If that had been in the original question then I may not have gone with an answer that is in a song.
Sorry! I assumed that all the people we say are in the box are "real."
And I don't want to take another turn. Either you go Fan4-45years or oobu go.

Right. Nixon was paranoid and wanted John gone because people listened to what he said about the war.

I was on call last night and worked 2:20 pm to 12:30 am. Man in car accident with smashed face. Case went from 7 pm to midnight! Then couldn't sleep until 5 am! Just got up at noon. Just saw your box question Fan. Did they also buy Julia & "Twitchy's" house?

No.

George's house at 25 Upton Green or Paul's at 12 Ardwick Rd?
-
Yes, George's is one. Not Paul's.

Yes, and that's where & why John was an enemy of the US Government.

No problem at all! Except that I have no idea who anyone's aunts & uncles are AND the ones I named are so prominent in a famous song...so...that's my story. haha

She will move into Cynthia's former home.

She will move into Cynthia's former home.
Yes. You got both parts of what she will do with them. Editing to say Nancy got two houses. I misread and thought it was his aunt Mimi's, but it is actually his birth mom's home. So she got George's parents's home and Julia's. The buyer also bought another house that someone grew up in that had a connection to the Beatles. Who lived in that one?
-
Ringo's Julia George Cynthia there's another?

That's all four. Your turn.
