So we are of the belief that Alice may have adopted mum.....either that or alice is mums biological mum and became pregnant to Jacob. My middle name is also May...nice little family tradition it would seem. I do have a few pics of Alice and would be more than happy to share those with you. I have fond memories of my nan and remember that she bred silky terriers. She loved dogs. We also have letters that John sent her from the frontline during the war. A pic of James would be nice.
