Many thanks for the information Ian - it seems that many people in the Watson family did not have children.

It's only after reading George's divorce file and George and Alice's wills in the past week that I've come to understand that Alice helped raise your father and so considered him her son and you and your siblings her grandchildren.

So I'm interested in knowing whether your grandmother ever spoke about her older sister Florence or Florence's daughter Elsie? I still haven't been able to trace what happened to Elsie, but I'm hoping for a happy ending, because this branch of the family tree is filled with so much sadness.

Best wishes,
Sharon

Hi,

Wondering whether Blackrat01 is still around? If yes, have you found out what happened to your grandfather's brother, Alexander Frederick Gibson? If you haven't, go to the National Archives site and look up the Air Force personnel record for Alexander Frederick Hall. Particularly look at page 48.

Kind regards,
Sharon
