Thanks Merry - I dont recognise any of those initials - but this has set me off on a new line of enquiry, which at the moment seems incomprehensible - I'll looked at it again when I'm less tired

I think it's because I always come in half way and then get confused!

No worries Maggie -I am always confused

Thanks Merry - - I have now seen the item in the Times - how strange - I has initially thought it might be connected with Derek Malcolm, but now I don't think it is.

Thanks again

Merry, Derek Malcolm Wicks - you popped in briefly on the end of that thread:

Sorry Merry - I meant Derek Malcom Wicks!

Thanks Janet - I'd forgotten about that thread

Also he pops up on this thread http://genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum...t=10775&page=4 - post 34 when I wondered whether he was the boy in the photos of 27, The Avenue

Sorry if the two threads are getting mingled :

Edit - I've just re-read the post Janet found - I did write to the son again but had no reply - but I didn't send for the adoption certificate - guess I should, on the offchance.

Oh, thanks Janet. I made the mistake of thinking Malcolm was the surname and thought he was a cricketer, but that's Devon Malcolm!

Joan, have you ever considered contacting DMWs widow? It appears (if I'm correct in what I looked up) she remarried and had one more child and is on the electoral rolls in 2003/7 (the older 192.com info - I can't access later). I suppose she would be in her eighties now though......
