Fairthorn,

Could you compress that link, as it has caused the page to distort (or it has on my computer)?

Thank-you

Hi

Patricia Mary Dainton (Nee Walker) here.

Daphne was my dad's cousin. Not sure if she is still alive though (Dad died in 1984)

I have a sister called Daphne Malvena Walker (poor cow lol). I am one of 6 although my older brother (Frederick Everett named after Dad) sadly died in 2012.

I have other brothers and another sister. Lesley Henry got his middle name after Dad's brother - Henry William.

Grandad was Frederick Thomas Walker and Great Granddad was Henry [James] Walker.

Regards

Trish
