My grandfather was a Fred Hilditch although walked out on my grandmother when my father & his sister were small. My father had little to do with him even up to his death in the late 1970s. My father Lawrence Hilditch has his father's birth certificate but I have yet to dig this out. My grand father who I never met was named Frederick John James Hilditch & according to my dad had a brother who lived around the corner to them in Bermondsey, London named Bert although he believes they had no children. He is not aware of any other aunts or uncles although he had a cosuin not sure whether first or second called George Hilditch who lived out Suffolk way (Constable country). I met George in late 1970s so if he is still alive I would put him at well into his 80s now. Fred lived his later life down in Catford & never divorced my grandmother & is buried in Hither Green. Not much more I can add I am afraid.

Regards John Hilditch
