hi all, just to let you know that i phoned vera earlier this evening and all the info that you kind people have given me has proved to be spot on, i really can't thank you enough, 3 days thats all it took since registering on this site.
i have given her my number and she is going to ring back after the weekend as she's going away tomorrow to the isle of wight for a few days, believe it or not its her 71sts birthday on friday, hows that for timing.

with the names you've supplied
douglas, edith and arthur have passed away, richard hasnt been seen by vera since she was 16, 55 years ago. catherine is living at he address in swindon that was given to me aswell, and william is still living in essex, or 'bill' as she calls him, vera gave me his phone number so i shall be giving him a call tomorrow evening. and if i remember right vera will contact catherine herself and pass on my number.
i cant remember what she said about helen, but she did say she has lost contact with some.
so, what more can i say but a big thankyou to you very kind people, i don't know who you are but if we were ever to meet then the drinks are definately on me.

thankyou.

for got to ad that vera and william never knew of edith and aurthurs exeistance until william found their birth certificates when clearing out the mothers belongings after she died. she also knew that there was one more child but never knew his name until i told her. she seemed a bit shocked as you'd expect but was very chatty on the phone and was talking quite openly obout the others. i will keep you posted on how things develop.

going to meet bill in a couple of weeks time, i'm in london for a few days anyway (got tickets to see metallica at the 02) and bill is going to come over from southend and meet me and the wife in the afternoon, my dad is going to try and come up aswell, but failing that they will arrange another day anyway. they had quite a long chat on the phone so all is going very well indeed.
