Member Since: December 2002 Posts: 16 Send Message	Well we think his accident may have been about the time my mum got engaged which was roughly 1938 so I would say he was probably born more round about 1913 or possibly earlier if he was a conductor he would probably been older having gone through some sort of training I suppose

	There is always the possibility that Vivian was the son of one of John's sisters so Dodd would not be the surname.
