Typical of my lot, a proffession that no ones heard of, and a mother who was a widow.
How helpful is that when you're trying to trace them
Thank you.

Hmmm, still fathering children aged 64yrs.
Although, with a wife 30yrs younger and no TV to distract him, it's possible I suppose.
Think I'll go for the father in law idea.
Wonder who/where hubby was.
