leonard’sgrandsonneil sent this photograph of the family with the following explanation:
neilwrote: ‘Arthur is back left as you look and his brother (my grandfather) Leonard is back right. The 4 girls whom I had the pleasure of meeting, Ethel, Lou, Tot, and Kath. Ethel emigrated to the USA, Florida, and had a good life and family around her out there. Tot, married a local man Jack, a real character, I remember him very well, and they lived their entire lives in Dover Street, Barming. Kath married a naval officer and lived her life in Hastings road, Maidstone, the house now owned by my mum and dad , and I live next doorto them !! I have lots of Kath’s memorabilia, ie wedding telegrams and 21st birthday congratulations telegrams, I also have her husband’s naval records.
