Re; Thomas Allen how did you gain this information in the first place? from a relative maybe they confused the two children.
I didnt know the baby,s name was Francis til i went on this site.my mother in law never spoke about it only to say she was orphaned and the family split up, her dad either re-married or lived with some one else, younger sisters placed in orphanages.
Surely if no remains were ever found he would be missing presumed killed and after 7 years a death cert would be issued, can you not obtain this, or cant you find any record of his death?
