The eldest Son was named James. Would be about 63yrs now. Fred was a Naval Officer Served on the HMS Warspite at some stage. Reginald married Marjorie Dyson (Peggy) brought up Marigold. Dolly (Dorothy was a Tutor Nursing Sister who never married. Evelyn probably a nurse also, who married Ernest Caustick. Evelyn died of cancer.
