Hi Wazzo8,
Today I received emails from Rootschat and read your messages. It has been quite a few years since I posted things but it would be good to be in touch.

Hi Derek,
It looks like Max Bygraves was from Rotherhithe. I have found some ancestors, the de Gratte Maskens, living there. They were printers and they are linked to the O'Duffy family, including Kevin Emmet. Other family surnames with a connection to the above named are Ward and Thacker.
I do not live in England so posting a photo would cost money. Are you able to scan or photograph the picture of Kevin E?

Kevin Emmet O'Duffy had a son of the same name who was killed in WWI. The photograph would have to be of the Kevin Emmet O'Duffy, Sr., the dentist who lived in Dublin. It would be interesting to see the photograph. The Ward and O'Duffy families who lived in Bermondsey lived on Catlin Street and some also lived on Yalding Road. Do you know which street your father's family might have lived on?

Hi SUEJANET and Jackie,
I have found ancestry records of Harry living in Queensland, Australia from 1920 to 1925. He had married Laura Summers. They had a son. Harry used the surname de Maskens while in Australia. After this time I lose track of him for many years. I have searched the shipping records without finding him entering or leaving Australia but he was here so I assume that he used a different name. My mother was also told that Harry used Frederick's name when he was in England. I have found Harry using his own name on records in England after he left Australia. My Mum, her mother, her 'Uncle' John Edwards and Harry visited Harry's sister Nellie Putley while she was in hospital in London in 1945/46. I think that is the only time she remembers meeting Harry. She said that 'Uncle' John was very tall and that John and Harry seemed to get along well.

Hi SUEJANET,
Yes, my grandmother lived at Springpond Rd., Dagenham and had three children who must be your first cousins. Doris, the eldest, stayed in Dagenham her whole life but is now deceased, next is my mum and the youngest Harry, who lives in Canada. It would be good if I could get my mum to send you a message but we are not living close to each other so I will see what I can do. Laura, like myself, is a great granddaughter of Adeline and lives in Australia. Perhaps she will join us again on Rootschat. Has Danielle decided which month she will visit Australia?

Hi SUEJANET,
My mother's mother was Doris Adeline Edwards, the sister of Frederick. My mother is 87 years of age.
Are you in England?
Hi Jackie.
Is it possible to scan the photo of Harry? You might be able to do it at the library free of charge. It is difficult to sit at a computer with back trouble.
