 ;D Cath the widow Margaret shown as living at 3 Smithfield Stockton is same address of Thomas Bean who married my gt aunt Mary, the 1901 census shows family living at 14 bone st, its same family iv'e no doubt.
As for the records i got my gt uncle Marks from Fleet airarm museum, Yovil.
I might go infor William's papers but will hang fire for awhile ;)
Thanks Cath address was brilliant find!!!!
All the best Derek :) ;) :D
