More information

From my aunt: It could well be a relation. We knew very little about my father/your grandfather's family. I do have an address where he was born in London - but don't think the street still exists. Possibly bombed. You could email the man and tell him about my book - 'Will you take the Dogs or the Diamonds' as there is some information about your grandfather and where some of his relations moved from Cornwall. I do know that my father had been married and that a son came to see us in Sussex. This was why he and mother didn't marry until I was 13 - not divorced.

My book is under my name, Anna Rains and can be bought from Amazon.
