Thank you Alpine Cottage that's very helpful. I have been living in the USA since 2003 so it's difficult for me to get information as I can't get to any records office. If only I had known when I was living at home then I could have tried more to get the information. Nobody ever spoke about it, it was very difficult getting any information at all even about my dad's father as my dad's sisters always told me they didn't remember and to be honest they were all young when he died but on the other hand usually you are only too pleased to talk about things like that, well we are now. I am now 68 so hopefully I will still be around in 2021 when the next census records come out, why on earth they don't release them earlier like they do here I don't know. Not that I think this place is better than the UK, no way is that true. I did speak to one of my dad's cousins about 5 years ago on the telephone because she wanted some information on our tree and she said her mum, my nan's sister, told her she knew who the father was but never mentioned any names. What a shame really but if I can't find it then I have to let it go, hard as it is.
