your help has been fantastic, can't work out the 2 marriages, but have now found out that Agnes later changed her name for what reason i do not know, and not only is Win missing but also another brother Bert who lived into his 70's in Dover ? you have been more help than my mum so thanks again.

thanks to both of you for the help, yes everything you have found is right, but from the info i have win was the eldest sister and one of ten children but Agnes is strange as my mum betty did not mention her, but you've really helped with dates ect anything else you can suggest would be good.
