Hi yes thankyou,my father told me his grandfather was richard tapper so i have assumed this was who i should be looking for , however as my father does not have much info it could be the wrong name , not sure i have any more info to go on , the people who susan have found are the family who i have traced but cant seem to go any further , i know that dudley tapper never had any children , sidney is my grandfather and moved to birmingham and had five sons , winifred had two children but i dont know any thing about clive. i was told that my greatgrand father died in 1905 , and that he was a bookie of some sort? .thankyou x |

I think Sidney is Sydney Clive the same person, there does not appear to be a Clive. |

Yes that could be possible , i did quiz my father about that as it did sound a little strange , once again thanks for all your help , it is really puzzling me as to who my great grand father was though , just wish my family had a few more bits of info as i know that would really help. x |

It is the right year for the birth of their first child and could be mistranscribed. |
