   Oh ..... he looks great Mum will be really pleased.

   I think he looks sad when I look at him...... he died leaving 3 children under 5 and his 4th was born a few months later. My grandad was just 3 and I will admit to tears when I read the report of his death in the local paper after nearly 4 years of searching for him.

      God bless Albert .....

   Thank you all.

  Irene.....

 Many thanks my brother is here and has seen it for the first time today.

 You have all done wonders with it.Yes a very sad story. Grandad never really knew him. Albert was working on the railway and was hit by a train that just came out of the fog.We spent 4 years looking for him on all the census but no luck. Only when we found the details of his death in the local paper did we find out why....his mother was a widow and had married the lodger...who we "think" was actually Albert father as they married shortly after his birth. Raised a few eyebrows with some of the older family members.



       My Thanks
