Thankyou for your help and all the info I am really sad that my nan Alma didnt't get the chance to find her half bro Robert dawson and by the time I found out about him cos he was kept a secret not even my dad knew about him and was quite shocked when i revealed what had happened not sure Harold my great grandad was a good person getting his daughters alma's best friend Lydia pregnant soon after his wife died and when i was researching him i found a few records of marriage that seemed to be connected to him lol x
