Hi Everyone.
My thanks to the Moderators for deleting email addresses & keeping us secure.
And, my huge apologies for not keeping in touch. Its been a hectic and at times difficult few months + major pc crash + lost logons etc. I was'nt ignoring people. But still sorry.
Janey, Many thanks for the email, I will reply ASAP.
Hi Ted, great to hear from you. its amazing how we are all linking together. As soon as you are able to PM me, & can therefore give me your email (securely), I will send you a document outliming all I know about Sidney. His wife was Lilly - from Hoxton - a milliner and descended from Heuganots - but that is much of what I know about her - apart from very helpful additional info from people on this forum.
Sidney had 2 sons - Sidney (my father) and Donald .... + 2 from Lilly's first marriage - Fred, Alfred +Renie her daughter -- all originally surnamed Smith. All are now deceased.
Of interest might be your searching Google for "RSM Sherriff Lamsdorf". After placing a few bits of information on various sites, other people have added even more info. OK this is just re the RSM, but hopefully some links may arise.
Just before his death, myslef & our daughter visited the camp band leader Jimmy Howe. A fascinating guy. Much on the web about him too.
All the best for the time being, Andy.
