Hi, My Grandfather was William Henry Done from Cheshire, born around c1910. In 1933 at the age of 23 years he married my Grandmother Agnes Stamp in Upton wirral Cheshire. The address at the time he married my Grandmother is 50, The Woodlands, Upton, Wirral. But on checking out the road it only goes up to number 48 ? (another mystery). Also at the time of the marrage he was Manager of a Gravel Company, his fathers name was Thomas and he had a sister called Connie. My grandfather was in the engineers during the second world war and left at the rank of warrant officer. He then worked in haulage before emigrating to East Africa. My grandmother Agnes passed away some years ago, and unfortunatly as you can see from the above I know very little about the Done's of Cheshire. Many thanks, Andy

Nikki and Jane,

As this thread was started quite a while ago, it may be better to pm Andy with your replies.
