Dear Martyn, Was your dad Billy and his brother Tommy from Birmingham UK? Your mother was my auntie Emily? Is your dad still alive and did they ever find Tommy again after he vanished from Emilys funeral which I attended? So pleased to have made contact. JOHN.

Dear Barbara, My name is John Durkin and Anthony Durkin was my grandfather.I still live in Middlesbrough. I have his First World War medals and his old leather wallet. My father was Patrick who nursed Peggy (my grandmother) after the 2nd world war when she was bombed out of the family home by the Germans. I am custodian of my fathers book which records in great detail the familys battle against poverty and hardship from the great war till today. You have found what you were looking for at last and the family history will fascinate and sadden you when I am able to tell you everything. I am new on Roots but will learn quickly I am sure. Kind Regards, John.  P.S. Google Patrick Durkin (actor) for info on my late brother.
