I am trying to find any information on my grandfather Robert Whitehead born 1899, he lived in Little Lever, Bolton until his death in1966 aged 67yrs He was affectionately known by everyone as chucky. He had several siblings, Elizabeth(Libby), Clara, Ada, James, Harold, Emily, Joseph and Mary both of whom died aged 7 and 11 repectively of diptheria in the year 1917 within 3 mths of each other. Robert was named after a relative 'Robert Whitehead' who invented the hydro-static plate for the torpedo Any further information regarding his family would be greatly appreciated.
