Hi everyone. My name is Tanya Cuxson. My mother is Shelia Cuxson (nee Orton) oldest daughter of Robert Charles Orton the brother of Kenneth's.

Robert died aged 93 in Jan 2014 and his wife Jean died March 2018 aged 95. 

With ANZAC day in Australia this week we were thinking about Kenneth and his story and googled his name and found your thread which was very interesting.

His second daughter remains living in England. Sheila is still married with 4 children and 6 grandchildren and lives in Australia.

We would love to hear more information if there is any.

Thanks in advance
Tanya

Re: Ken Orton, airman died 2nd October 1944.
My mother, Margaret,  is Ken’s cousin. She and her brother, Charles, were  very close to him and his brother, Robert. My mother is still alive, she is 92, and living in Surrey, England.
