Hi pbrown66 - you wrote -
'Second child (Auntie Elizabeth) was born is Pewsey (1910).
all the others were born in Preston between 1911 & 1929, EXCEPT for one son, who was
born in Malta during Marks tour of duty. That son is called Frank and was born in 1921'.
I am Frank's daughter, Melanie. Frank was good friends with James and Betty Marsh who lived in Preston. I was born in Dec' 1964 in Preston, as Betty and Frank had a long standing affair - so I was illegitimate. I used to meet him every week, secretly for years. Often in Blackburn where he lived. His wife Ivy knew about me but nothing was ever mentioned. I met Helen, his sister often and her husband Bobby in Preston too. Perhaps we could exchange emails and catch up? I guess you'd be my cousin? I hope you get this message! I have a few photographs of him, and news clippings of Grandads death report. Kind regards Melanie
