further knowledge from c-in-l

"...I was told my dad had died in a fire at his home in Liverpool...he is burried in the grave with his mother, Sarah Ann in a cemetary in Liverpool, I know it's close to Alder Hey Hospital as we passed it in the funeral courtage...I don't remember which but it was a cold, snowing October day and I was befuddled...a sister called Vera, had organised the funeral..."

"...my parents were divorced by 1966..."

"...I dearly wish I could find a photo of my dad, as I don't have a single one, I only have left a memory of when I saw him in the flesh in Liverpool once, when I was 5 years old and a brief glimpse of him on local television around 1989, he was running a project to help elderly and vulnerable people in central Liverpool..."
