Hello John,

My Grandfather was Albert Blaber he married Amy Bull and they had 4 Children - Leonard (my Dad), Doris, Stanley and Ronald. Albert retired to Dorset and died in 1962 or 1963, so he definitely did not die in WW1. I have no information on his Brothers and Sisters unfortunately so anything tha you have would be interesting.

Hi Debbie, I've just seen your post. There is a change of date for Albert . It is now 1886. Does this still fit in with what you have. I would love to hang a family on Albert or one of his siblings. His youngest sister was my mother, so Albert would have been my uncle.
I have a soft spot for Dorset, what part did he retire to?.
