Part 2, written before I forget we're to find this thread.
My grandfather was a soldier sent to South Africa, there he met my grandma Kathleen brown, they married twice first in the camp, then at the Catholic Church , once the Bore war started my grandmother and the children that were born out there were sent to live in England with grandads brother in London . But after traveling by ship for weeks and in a country they had never been to before the address they had been in givern was no longer were he lived. Luckily the new people had an address, burton latimer Northants , so they boarded the train and made the way.
It was a hard life , back then people were so rude, the children were not used to wearing shoes so walked without, their skin was dark so people would call them names, but soon they found a house 17 station rd burton Latimer although they did spend time in Ireland when grandad was stationed there spike island it was called, some children were born there, but they returned to Burton were they lived out their lives, I was actually born in that house. I have a pic, great uncle Henry great aunt Kate and great grandma Louisa . Sorry it's late good night
