Hi F.H.

I know an Alf Heins from the West Ham area, who was a professional boxer and appeared in a couple of films under the name Alf Hines.  I believe this maybe your Dads cousin?  Does that seem correct?

Sorry this is my first posting on this site.

Hi ya lh2301.

Yes, Alf is my dads cousin, my second cousin. My dad too was a boxer, a bit older than Alf. It was Alf's father who got my dad interested in boxing at the age of 7 when they lived in Canning Town.

Do you know the whereabouts of Alf now?. I would like to get in touch with him again.

I have enclosed a photo of my father.

Regards,
Fred Hines

Hi Fred

Thanks for the photo, I will certainly print it off and show it to Alf when I next see him.

Alf's boxing records can be found at the link below if you are interested.

Also, I attach a picture taken from the video cover of one of the films he appeared in (the Square Ring)
- Alf is the one on the left!

Regards Lisa
