There is evidence to suggest that Daniel had married previously, his first wife Annie having died in 1913. In 1911 Daniel and Annie were living at 58 Jeddo Street with their children Agnes, Daniel and Sarah At the time Daniel was working as a 'loco fireman' Do any of these names mean anything to you? Might your grandfather have been lodging with Daniel and Gertrude, (who don't appear to have had any children of their own)? Incidentally, when responding to the Digest version of emails on this list, it's usually a good idea to top and tail the response to get rid of all the text that has nothing to do with your response! Robert Thanks very much Robert that is really helpful. My Grandfather worked in Whitchurch Hospital and died there too in some sort of Staff Accommodation, The first time Mrs Dart came to my notice was when I received my Grandfather's Death Certificate some time ago, I can find no evidence of him and Mrs. Dart being related in any way at all. I take the point about topping and tailing irrelevant text. Thank you again Martin -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web
