Bob I don't know the exact date of the incident, only that I've been told it was during the May blitz of 1941. My mother's family were living at 21 Clive Road, Oxton, Birkenhead, (my mother had got married and moved in 1940, phew!) In the house were my grandfather, Thomas Edward Keene who was asleep upstairs. Under the stairs were my Aunt, Blanche Keene, her friend Christine Walker, and the couple who lived next door at 23. I don't know their names. A bomb landed on 23 and totally destroyed it and partly destroyed 21. I know the couple from 23 and Christine Walker were killed. Blanche was badly injured but survived and grandad also survived. Can you find any record of the incident?
