Dear hel55fab
I have been doing the family tree a while now and seem to be slowing down with it so it was fantastic to see this posting.
Do you know anything about Frank?, did your Grandfather talk about him?. I would love to know what he looked like or if there are any stories about the short time he was Walter's step father.
I have info that John Wilson Thirsk b1882 d 1912 in Grimsby (according to the Kennedy family tree on Ancestory) but was living in Hull at the time of the 1911 census. His father was also John Wilson and mother Jane Graham.
I know that Frank and Ethel had another 5 children: Hilda, Frank B, William, Doris and Lilian. Did you ever meet any of them as your great Aunts (I think the two boys maybe died as I cant find any records for them)
I also think Ethel married again to a Hall, as you say lots of husbands!
It would be lovely to hear from you again.
kind regards - Elaine
We are going to visits Frank's grave in Flanders at Easter
