He had an older brother born in 1921 and a younger sister born in 1928. I wont give their names in case they are still alive, but they can be found on Freebmd.

Hi,

If your research stays in Dorset, then the Dorset OPC site might be useful:

There is one child from that marriage, born 1949 so probably still alive. You can find their name on Freebmd. Just put in Heckford and the mother's maiden name.

Your Uncle was my Great Uncle, Charlie and Florence (nee Livermore) Heckford were my Great Grandparents and I was lucky enough to know them well, they lived in Hamorthy and there is still family there.

Hi Mrs Bingo. I'm not sure if I can help in anyway but my parents grew up in Gillingham, Dorset. I have just been talking to them and they knew a family of Heckfords that lived in the town. A lot of people that lived there had associations with the brick works.
