Dear Dragongirl,
You are amazing. Thank you!
The names don't mean anything to me, which does make it hard, especially with Leonard's sister.
My father always told us he had lived in a children's home, not with his mother, but he never said why, and he died when I was 5 years old. He was living in Australia at the time, and had no contact with any family back in the UK that I am aware of. He seemed sad about this - there's some sadness, and talk of long periods of loneliness in his letters.
I agree that the family Bible names are Gladys' maternal family: I've managed to work out some of those relationships quite neatly!
Thank you, again, and so much for your help. I really do appreciate it.
warm wishes
