I spoke to Beryl from the death notice on Sunday. Florence and their family ran into their neighbour's bomb shelter and they shouldn't have done. Florence broke her leg, the rest were killed.

I'm now interested in finding Harold Good, a wholesale merchant in Hull in the 1940s. Judging by Florence's diary, which I obtained on Sunday, he is my granddad.

No, that was a different Harold Good (builder’s labourer).

Harold Good, a partner in a wholesale grocer’s, was born 18 Dec 1890.

He married (1921 Sculcoates) Sarah H Thompson, born 2 Oct 1894.

Florence kept multiple letters written to her in December 1941 by a George who bought her a ring. She mentions a George in her diary in 1947 as well. In the 1941 letters, he gives his division:
"Same kid,
H.Q.R.A,
15(S) Division,
Home forces"

That sounds a bit specialist - you might want to take that snippet to the Armed Forces board to see whether they can get anywhere with it.  WW2 stuff still too recent to be easily researched, though.

For some reason Florence kept the attached newspaper clipping in the same tin as her diary and the photos of my dad that my grandma sent her. Her family found the tin when she died and started looking for my dad. I'm going to have to upload it in two parts.

Second part. The rest is all the names of business partners who went to the funeral.
