Sorry about misinformation on dates. Trouble with rushing to get posts done due to battery life getting short did not help
Thanks Haywood. That is the link.
So, it looks like Lily was probably the mother of The boy John.
was Ramsay at 99 Bower Way in 1939 list? Who else was there ? Afe there ages known? I have a photograph of Ramsay and Elias at Brighton Races in 1947 with three other men. One of them I saw possibly a known employee, the two others look to have more status, were they all living at Cippenham?
Ramsay applied to join RAF at Oxford in early 1942. He next shows on the records at ACRC London in March 1943. His uncle Joseph Marsh is reputed to have walked to Oxford after Jarrow. I thought that perhaps he stayed there and Ramsy stayed with him around the time he first applied to join the RAF,and perhaps stayed with his uncle until he was called to London. Perhaps Joseph marsh is on the 1939 Register?
I am also investigating Lily’s brother Sidney, who Ramsey once told a girlfriend of his that he ,worked on the roads with. Sidney was obviously a businessman at heart, or perhaps there was comparative wealth handed down to him. In spite of 5he fact that his father was a miner. I have been told that he bought loads of surplus coal and resold it at the time of the Beeching R/W cuts and the contraction of the coal industry. I am certain that Ramsay would have not been doing any manual work after about 1969. In fact, I can’t imagine that he ever did manual work. His RAF records have him as a Lorry Driver before he joined the airforce he worked for his father as a bookie when he left.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=785536.0I have checked out some likely looking links but have not yet found anything that fits Florence Brown who I take to be Lily’s sister was Lived with Sidney Brown exactly. He died At Tow Law or at Spennymoor. In about 1970.
