Thank you for the extra info, Austin and Chris. The son born 22 Nov. is mine but not F.W. Turnbull the architect.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Thank you so much, Dea. I always wondered where they lived before they moved to Acklam and Greylands Ave. is ringing a bell.

I don't know anything about Lily and Norman, haven't heard the names before but will check it out.

Thanks again.
