Hi Richard,
Thanks for putting your message on the message board. I am Bill and live in Osterley, Middlesex. jales@blueyonder.co.uk. I was also raised in Hammersmith. My Father Peter was related to Sydney Jales, Syd is my Dads uncle. Unfortunatly my Dad died in 1988 and I am sure that Syd was at his funeral. I attended the same School as Michael. Which School did you go to and how old are you?Syds Brother George had 2 children Raymond and Janet, unfortunatly Raymond died last year he was only 58, maybe you knew him. I think that Maud is still alive (syds sister) i expect that you are in contact with her. I have good memories of Syd and his big family, I remember them drinking in the Haverlock or Birds Nest in Shepherds Bush. Are you one of Brians Children? Ask Syd if he remembers me, if so please give him all of my good wishes.
Kind regards
Bill Jales.
