Such patronising condescension . Why don't you get off your butt and do some research yourself ?

LOL. Loved it

I believe that Michael was (Nanna) Gladys's son, not her husband.[/
I canā€™t see her son working, because she alludes to leaving him.

Hi again Sherlock - a couple of points:

1. If you don't ask the step-sister for a photo and/or details of Michael's appearance, there's no way you'll hear anything from her. Obviously the request should be delicately phrased.

2. The longer you leave it, the more likely it is she will have died.

Having got this far and well done on that, stop faffing about and instead try to finish the job.

No, that's not quite the case Moste. The thing Sarah and I have in common is that we are both subscribers to the Ancestry.co.uk website doing family tree research. Sarah's Nanna, Gladys, was in fact Michael Clark's mother. After Michael passed away in April 2018 the handling of his estate was entrusted to his step-sister. I do have a 2018 address for her which I obtained last year but I don't know whether she is still alive. It's a delicate matter trying to approach a complete stranger by letter in the hope that she might have a photo of her step-brother circa 1961/62 which she would be willing, in one way or another, to share.

Interestingly, Sherlock, Sarah seemed to be under the impression that you yourself was somehow related, and following your last communication maybe decided not to continue a connection. Iām taking it that the sworn to secrecy inference is with regards to the mystery of Michael and Sarahās Nannasā split up ? ( this of course makes Michael probably Sarahās Grandad, or stepgrandad. ) Itās a pity that this family was kept in the dark over Michaels existence , otherwise with your success as an investigator we may well have been on a winner here.
