If you go to Google maps, enter the post code ME1 2DD and then use Street View, you can see the house. It is no 27, the one with grey rendering and green painted stonework with a red car outside.

As I stated on previous post .
       They must have left Teynham  for Rochester soon after Barbara  was born. Ronald had secured a job on the Railway as a Permanent Way Heavy Gang Worker. (maintaining the tracks and track bed ,which is known as the Permanent Way) .The depot was at Rochester for our area.
       By 1939 he had been promoted to Ganger (Charge Hand Or Foreman)which suggests he had been in the job for some time.

He eventually ended up working in the dockyard but sady his wife died when his children were still young and Ronalds sisters decided it was best to put Barbara in a girls home called Charlotte Sharman in London or the outskirts of it, a really lovely place by what my mother told me  ,he kept his son Albert with him ,Albert died last year and Barbara my mother died in 2011, Its so good to know about the family, all that are left are the children of Barbara and Albertv,my mother had twins my brother and sister and Alberts granddaughter is about to have her twins a boy and girl .
