Sorry.......... think that the info I gave you is not correct as it would appear that both Albert and Gladys died in Mansfield Notts so not your family afterall.

Moody Blue,This is a great possibility but I have no way of checking, all the information I have I have included,My Grandad also had a brother william and a sister Sarah Louise. William was known as Bill and Sarah was known as Pence both lived in Llandrindod Wells in the 1960s when I was a lad.

David Report 7 Jun 2009 10:27

My grandfather had a brother "Bert" possible Albert or Herbert with a wife called Gladys and a daughter Doreen,Doreen was in Nursing and Bert and Gladys owned newsagents in Brighton in the 1950/60s.
Bert born Mid-Wales early 1900s Gladys possibly the same.Doreen born 1930ish.
Berts father William Francis (1879-1955),his mother Mary Bufton (b 1877),William was a policeman living in Rhayader on the 1901 census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
