Have you taken a look at Member's Trees to see if they appear on any other trees on GR?
(Press the top right Search) if unfamiliar with site
So sorry to hear of these tragic events concerning your family.

I took the liberty of Googling your story,Sharon, and would recommend that others do too.
Your poor dad must have been severely traumatised. Of course, then,you were left to get over it and it doesn't look like he ever did, poor man.
Do you know of any uncles or aunts? It is possible that there are some he kept away from, trauma doesn't make you rational!

It looks like Mr Luccock died in 1992 but I am sure he knew how grateful you were.

There are 7 trees on ancestry with Alan and June Stirman. Although not showing no more than this (no parents etc) maybe because of the tragedy.These people and one has the Westlake name maybe be able to help.xx
