In 2025 CT sent this note: William’s son Percy (age 10 in 1891) married a lady named Hannah with whom he had two daughters. He remarried and in the 1920s had a son, Douglas, and two more daughters, Nora and Elizabeth “Betty”. Sadly, Douglas died in WWII aged only 20, while serving in the RAF. Elizabeth has lived in Melbourne, Australia, since about 1957, when she emigrated here with her sister Nora, their husbands, their widowed mother Florence, and their children.
