Thank you once again for all the fantastic information on this family.

 Mabel - I have looked at the 'Petts Wood' connection - it was a Walter Noel Rees who apparently was a master builder and built the houses at Petts Wood. But as yet I just can not find that link between that Walter Noel Rees and this one.

The only thing is that his father & grandfather were involved in the building trade. But this one seemed to be an engineer and a 'jet setter'. Any ideas?

I have had good information from the Australian Rootchat too - see link
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=608910.new;topicseen#new

Will now have to sit and collate all the information. But if anyone has any further on the 'Petts Wood' Walter Noel Rees or any other I would be most grateful.

Judy

Thank you very much.

Not sure how far you wish to take this one but I have traced the daughter of Dorothy and Albert and her marriage. Have contact details if you wish.
