I have just looked through the post and replies on the other forum (link avm gave)
On there you say his name is Munings, rather than Munnings and that he was born Tyneham, no mention of Steeple!!
There were some suggestions on there, one being to follow up what you said about the paper having an article in 1995. Did you find that article? I am sure the relevant Record Office will have records.
All the obvious ideas were covered on that thread - someone had even found the Alfreda I found earlier! We are not likely to find anything that wasn't found there.
So - you need to go back to the "friend" who met the Julian and went to the pub where they were known, and get some more facts. Where was this? When was this? Is he/she in touch with Julian or Gerald? If they are so well known at the pub, why not write to the landlord and ask him to pass on a letter to Julian or Gerald asking them to get in touch with you as you are interested in their father/grandfathers story?
What other sources have you got, other than the article - by this I mean that on the other thread you said "you had now heard there was a newspaper article in 1995 ...." who did you hear this from? How did you hear of Gerald and Julian - they arent in the original writings by Alfred ....
far too many unknowns at the moment - suggestions based on what IS known are on the other thread, for any new suggestions we need more info, and I think you are the only one with the links to ....well to whoever gives you the info .......who can find it out!!
