A while ago I asked for help looking for my cousin Albert Ford born 1927c .
Well with help from several people including someone known as Fairthorn who kindly sent a message giving a possible address and telephone number, today I called that number and it was the person I was looking for.

Well almost because in fact he died on 22nd June this year but his wife confirmed that I was correct and she remembered me and my sister. We talked for about 40 minutes and learnt so much about each other. I have promised to write to her and she is going to send me some photos...I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Fairthorn without you this would not have happened.
