HI, I'M TRYING TO FIND BASIL ALLEN (C 1915, FATHER CLIFFORD) WHO WAS MARRIED TO EVELYN CATOR OF WINTERTON-ON-SEA IN NORFOLK.

TO FIND BASIL OR SOME OF HIS OTHER FAMILY WOULD BE WONDERFUL FOR US AS WE KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT HIM - HE MAY HAVE HAD RED HAIR! WE DO KNOW HE WAS IN TOUCH WITH EVELYN UNTIL THE MID -1960'S.
.
WE REALISE THAT THEY MAY NOT WANT CONTACT PER SE BUT JUST SOME INFORMATION OR A PICTURE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

IF ANYONE CAN HELP, THANK-YOU.
VICTORIA ALLEN

A tree on Ancestry has him down as Basil Kenneth Allen. They say he died on 1986 but don't know where.

Dear Lindsay, seeing Gimingham has made a connection with a photo I was shown last Sunday! my father didn't know anybody except his mother in the pic - now it could be his grand-parents who he never knew. Thank-you everybody - I have been on here since 2004 trying to find info, thank-you so much, Vicx
