Thanks that fits exactly with what I know of the family history. Dad (John Kenneth) was born in 1927, and living on the farm when his mother died when he was about 11. What happened to the farm after that I am unsure. Taid joined the merchant navy, my father was at the grammar school and stayed with various aunts. Started work for the Post Office, something electrical I think, then left for England when he was 19.
Nice to fill in little bits of the puzzle. Thanks.
