Did he move up to Bolton with Nellie?
Yes he did, first child Marion baptised in Bolton in 1913...... but
when he actually moved there is anyones guess!!
JM...........Ching.............. that's a new one!!!!
Adopted, Hepburn............. don't really know!!
Pauline. Partly right. We don't really know if he was adopted, formally or informally. It was only a thought (guess) on Mums part. He did tell his children his father was an engineer. And he did tell them he had an adopted sister who died young.
He was in the army during WWII in the Royal Engineers (Birth Cert of son, John has his occupation as Army, Royal Engineers) but there's nothing on the N.A. There is an Ernest Onley, but this is the wrong one as he has been traced back.
Name Fred Blunt came from his daughter (Marion) when he was working in the theatre as set designer - when this name actually came about we don't know. He was a master carpenter. Address on MC was Great College Street.
Abbott.......... don't know!
Fred Blunt........... don't know!
