We live not to far from Southampton and took the Museum there and he pointed it out straight away. He use to be so sharp until 4 years ago when he had a bad fall and hit his head hard and broke his hip, he has lived with me ever since. :-)

Thank you Margee, Maddie and Gins,
I think the Heward must be my Father his middle name being Henry.
But Samuel his brother should also be there as he was born before my Father.so would they have moved to USA because of the war?

Thank you all so much for all this help x
