Indeed Stanley was born in Connecticut USA 1897, didnot have a UK passport until the late 1940s. I wonder if the 'a' I have seen in some records refers to alien or american? The Smith family left the UK in 1896, but returned sometime around 1901 for reasons unknown, the most likely being ill...

Maurice This is interesting, as again Harry & Henry, do not mean anything to me, but Emma Turley, does figure in the picture. I will need to double check my filing system to see where this is going. I really would like to find out about Albert and his army service. David

I should add that Both Harold and Stanley left local government service sometime in the mid 1920s to carry out similar duties in the West Riding of Yorkshire, before heading to SE London in 1936.

Thank you Alberta, I am amazed at the speed of your response. I last researched the Palsers in 1995, I met a distant relation and his information neatly dovetailed with mine. This information was moved to safe keeping and subsequently became lost to me. That relation is now not in good health...
