Hi Bomber the dates are correct . Pretty sure the address is correct to. Any further information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Hi tinhat, I got the name Albert from his army records after he died. I did not know much about his life before he moved to Southampton. I hope your mum is well, sounds like she is my half sister. There are 6 of us here in Southampton. Sorry that I am a bit slow on a computer.
-
I had followed up the 'Sandwell Harris' as i thought the date of birth was August and not the very end of July. I think my family had always assumed [obviously wrongly!!!) that he had not moved too far away from his birthplace. Thank you for your information.
-
just wondered how many of his children are still alive from his first marriage? Hope you do not mind me asking as I know very little from his early years. The older generation were more secretive.
-
All four of them are still alive, certainly don't mind you asking. The 2 daughters were born after the war, hence them not being on the war records. I take it from your message that you are one of 6?. My mum assumed he had other children after her parents separated. Hope you are all well too?
-
Isn't this just a wonderful outcome to your original post, bomber ;D ;D

it would be good to know the first names and birth years of his daughters for my records , if thats at all possible.has your mum got any photos of her dad , i could try to attach one if you wished . yes charlotte it is good to find all this out ,hope tinhat is as pleased
-
Yes i'm really pleased - thank you. How did you find my original post as that was done over a year ago?. My Mum has no photographs of her Dad at all and i'm pretty sure her siblings don't have any either. A photograph would be lovely, many thanks!
-
hi tinhat found your original message by pure luck when I googled dads name on Thursday night. Yes there are 6 children, 3 boys & 3 girls. The oldest is 52 & the youngest 38. I have a couple of army photo's that I will try to scan in & send to you soon (as I said before I am not brilliant on the computer). Will talk again soon
-
Hi Bomber - i've just modified one of my previous messages just to maintain the privacy of some of the family members (re names) Look forward to hearing from you again.

hi tinhat ,having afew problems doing this third time lucky!, think i can only attach one pic at atime!.
got afew more questions hope you do not mind?
do you all still live in the leicester area?
did rose ever remarry?
did they even divorce?
why did they separate?
-
Hi - i'm not a lot of help re putting photos on screen! The family stayed in the Midlands and i don't think they were ever divorced hence no remarriage. Can't help you on your last question. I know very little about them to be honest!
Would love to know why and when he went to live in Southampton and if he kept in touch with other family members? - I believe he had sisters.
-
Hi, I am not sure when he moved to Southampton. My oldest brother was born in '59, so sometime in the late '50's.
I know he had brothers and sisters. I heard him speak of them now & again. I can remember a Syd and maybe a Bert.
I keep trying to attach a photo but it keeps bombing out!!
