Unfortunately, I knew nothing of this during his life time, so I was never able to ask him all the details. His mother was Flora Stokes, (nee Payne), with whom George lived during the latter part of his life, until his death. My father changed his name by deed poll to that of the family who subsequently raised him. I was delighted to discover, via you, the next step back in my elusive tree. Regards Rose Jolliffe
