Thanks for the reply Steve. Stan is the eldest son of Jim, he has a sister phyllis and he had a brother Les who passed away about 15 years ago. He's 85 and going strong, hopefully he takes after WIC in the longevity dept!
I have'nt gone into the Coventry family history in detail yet, I've mainly been doing my own family tree and picking up bits along the way. Lots of my ancestors have marriage and baptism records at St Matthews Bethnal Green and St Leonards shoreditch too, so have tended to search at the same time. My husband Ian has little or no interest in family history buts its interesting for our kids to know their roots. Stan has also told me lots of memories of his grandparents and aunts and uncles.
Regarding your GGGGmother, was it Sarah Elizabeth Roberts? I had this name written down on some notes I had made sometime but now cannot remember where I got it from. I really should try to be a bit more organised in my research!

I will mention you and your mum Joyce to Stan when I see him tomorrow.
Regards, Linda
