Hi Sam thank you so much for coming back to me with this firstly so sorry to hear that your grandfather Alf passed away recently - it sounds like he had a wonderful and happy life. My aunt thought that he passed years ago. I will tell her all about him when I go up to Surrey where she lives and show her these photos they were lovely thank you. He looks like my uncle Nelson Lee who would be first cousin to him. In regards of Ernie and Unity I don't know a lot about them. I can tell you a bit more about the James side of things from what my granny told me and what I have found out on ancestry. Her parents were John James and Minnie Collins she had 18 sisters and 4 brothers. I think the family travelled around the Surrey and Kent area until the family settled in Mitcham in 1900 - living in Seaton Road in 1911 and Queens Road after that. This was known as Rocky Terrace or Red Skin Village due to the darkness of their skin tones. My dad told me if you put a feather in aunt Violets head she looked just like an Indian from America. I hope there is a photo of Unity to put to my family tree search it would be lovely to have a face to the name. Someone must have one hopefully or if you find any photos of her brothers or sisters that would be lovely. Do you know any of Amy and Olive's families - they might have one fingers crossed. Best wishes waynus james
