Elsie
William
Albert Frederick (b 28/8/1897 England, d 20/8/1971 Australia)
Thomas
George
Walter
Olivia
Charlotte died in 1906.
Albert remarried in 1910 but I don't have these details.
I do not know anything at all about their children, other than a few details about their son, Albert.
Son Albert Frederick Laughton (my grandfather) was stationed at Valetts, Malta WWI, then France. After injury, he was at Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow.
He married Agnes Wallace McPherson in Maryhill, Glasgow on 14/4/1919.
Any leads appreciated.
