Sheila Report 20 Jan 2008 18:01

I am trying to find information about my Grandfather - Victor William Cunningham. I know he was born 3 May 1899, probably somewhere in Norfolk - but I don't know where. I think he had a sister - Lily - who became a Spanton by marriage - but I know nothing about her. I would also like to find out about my Grandfather's parents and any other family he may have had. We have very little knowledge of his side of the family.
Thanks for any help
