Again only guesses but grandad said if he moved in with anyone it would have been with Harold his son. Harold might even be alive but they have all lost touch when gdad had a family - well you would with 5 daughters!

Goodness knows I am just as guilty of not keeping in touch enough with my aunts and uncles especially as we are all so far away physically from each other.
I never thought about the death age being wrong - I suppose that is a possiblity in which case that broadends the search considerably

I wish I could just magic up the right death certificate and answer all my gdad's questions as being an only child himself so much was left unanswered
thank you all for your input - is a very warm welcome xxx
