does anyone have any information on the Sproston Family who lived on St Brides Road in the 1950's
Bernard Sproston was my grandad, he died of Dropsey at the age of 26 ,leaving behind his wife Agnes daughter Maureen and son Ken. Agnes was 9 months pregnant with my mum at the time of his death.
Mum never knew her dad obviously and there has been little to no mention of him or his side of the family. Last Saturday I managed to track down his burial plot in Cemetry, it was emotional to finally have soem connection with my Grandad.
There was no head stone so thats next on the list. If anyone has any stories of them good or bad id love to hear, also of course any photos we have none and mum has never seen her Dad.
We knew he had a sister called Gewn, and a theres roumer to be a brother called William.(may have died at 1 not confirmed).
Lancashire BMD has a Gwen married to Frank Thomas of Knotty Ash, this could be the same dunno?
thanks for your time
