From the BBC page:

"Hannah Hallsworth had two children out of wedlock before settling down with Raymond Dunsmore"

So one was Bert...who was the other?  ??? :o

You could see the tears in his eyes when he stood at the grave and then tried to explain the "real " him as not showing emotion.

I agree with Andrew, now I think about it, maybe it would have been too upsetting for the family of Bert. Or maybe Robert has found him but wants to keep it private.

Also loved his speech at the end where he said that our past is always with us and their past as well.

Wouldn't mind reading a bit more especially about Hannah - she reminds me of so many of my female family members lol

His last name was Dawson wasn't it and he was born in 1919.........


Wasn't that his middle name?  "Herbert Dawson Hallsworth".

How many times have we seen a surname used as middle name.  Clue!!  Clue!!
(Sorry, getting all over excited... ;D)
