HI, I'M TRYING TO FIND BASIL ALLEN (C 1915, FATHER CLIFFORD) WHO WAS MARRIED TO EVELYN CATOR OF WINTERTON-ON-SEA IN NORFOLK. THEY HAD 2 CHILDREN, BARRY WHO DIED AGED 2 MONTHS AND CHRISTOPHER DAVID - MY FATHER. EVELYN DIVORCED BASIL IN THE 1940'S AND TOLD MY FATHER THAT BASIL HAD DIED IN THE WAR. BASIL WAS CATAGORICALLY AND TRAGICALLY REFUSED CONTACT WITH HIS SON - ONLY SUPPORT WAS SENT THROUGH SOLICITORS.

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.
HE MAY POSSIBLY HAVE MOVED EITHER TO BELGIUM OR SOUTHAMPTON UK - REMARRIED AND HAD A DAUGHTER AND DIED @ LATE 1980'S/EARLY 1990'S.
WE REALISE THAT THEY MAY NOT WANT CONTACT PER SE BUT JUST SOME INFORMATION OR A PICTURE FOR DADDY WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS ALL OF OURS ARE CUT IN HALF!

WE KNOW BASIL LIVED IN HEMSBY, NORFOLK AND HIS FAMILY HAD A BUTCHERS. IF ANYONE CAN HELP, THANK-YOU.
