U Unfortunately not. Apparently he is 17.

I would like to thank everyone who has responded to my posts. Here are two photos of Frank King. One in his naval uniform, which was part of a much bigger crew photograph. When I was young and used to visit my Nan in Leicester, there were photos of Frank wearing his boxing belts, which I assume...

I can safely say that Frank lived with the family at Farm Close. The way my mother described him, he was a real character. Unfortunately he liked a drink and got locked up for d&d quite often. My mother used to go and visit him at the local police station.

Thanks for the reply. I could not find any record of marriage. My mother said he died when she was 14. She was born in 1931. So his death could be 1945.

My maternal grandfather was Frank King. Apparently he was associated with Bingley Hall boxing club. No record of his death or birth can be found, but he probably died around 1943/1944. He had been in the navy and had boxed for them. The possible reason why there are no records of him is that he...
