Hi Londonbelle,
They didnt live with them but use to visit them on a regular basis.
They use to visit as a family. They use to live quiet close & could walk there easily. Still can, its still there.
My gran died in 1956 & she never remarried.

My cousin has looked in Norwich. She still lives there so she & my other cousin, Irenes daughter have been trying for ages. She just doesnt know what else to try. She cant find the whereabouts of the younger children either.
Irene & my mother are the only 2 left. My mother is the only one who knows about her father, or not if you know what I mean.
The other families didnt want their parents to know in case it upset them. My mother was relieved when I told her because she was beginning to think she was loosing her memory or something crazy.

William James Blake must have know the full story. He would have been 22 when his last half sibling was born.

Do you have contact with any of his relatives?

Hi Rose, It is Williams daughter who is helping me. She lives in Norwich so it is easier for her but she has simply now reached a brick wall.
Yes, William did know something but he wouldnt talk about it. My cousin knew all this long before I did because our nan asked Williams wife to get some birth certs for her & she asked William why they all had King on. Im not sure what he told her but nothing was ever revealed to my cousin. She said he was too embarrised by it all.
William remembered his real father, my nans husband, he remembers him in the hospital & wheeling him home at weekends in a water bedded bath chair. The Norfolk & Norwich hospital wasnt too far from where they lived.
Thanks for your interest,
Janice
