Were Thomas and Janet were 'playing away from home'?

If not, then Ralph was not the son of both of them

What was Janet's maiden name?

Who was Thomas's first wife?

You stated earlier that Ralph was born in Newcastle..............as you haven't found his birth, you can't be certain of that

My late Mother Ella Doreen Atkinson was his sister,the youngest of several.
