Hello
Thank you so much for your reply...... I wasn't holding out much hope!
There is a1911 census Henry James George 1878-1927 GY, living with his wife Alice (nee Spencer),1846- 1914 living with their children - including Annie, at no.16 Row22 which I believe was on the corner of the Conge, Market Place end.
One of the children is Alice Sarah George(1904-1983) which would be the Aunt Alice you mentioned.
I have an image of Henry James George and his military record which has thrown up a couple of mysteries in itself.
Also, the parents of Alice- William Watts Spencer and Sarah( nee Steward) seem to have a colourful history including bigamy and running away to Australia!
It was said to discover the fate of Arthur John George particularly as I have been told that he told his mother when he left for war that he knew he would never return.
So, Annie had 7 siblings for which I have information on except for Hilda, she literally disappeared!
Following some nifty detective work and good luck I have met with Thelma Mather( living
In Halvergate, Katie Smith(Ewles) and Pauline Smith both living in Great Yarmouth.
Would be more than happy to share anything else I have with you
Best Wishes
