A Surprise Through The Post: An Update

Auntie Jean has been in touch and corrected a mistake I made in my post about the photo above.


It appears that the Stephen in the photo was not the murdered ancestor whom I thought he was. That was someone else, also called Stephen.


I'll let Auntie Jean tell the rest - this is the text of her email to me:


"Glad you like the photograph I sent of Aunt Bebe [my Gran was called 'Bebe' by Auntie Jean's generation] and Uncle Steve. Stephen Charles. 


Thought that you should have it, I’ll turn up with another sooner or later [huzzah!].  The one that I am looking for is of your Gran dressed up in her brother’s Postman’s uniform at Freshford . 


Steve died in 1957 in Aberdare. It was your great grandfather Stephen who was murdered in a street fight in the East End of London. Grandma Davis moved to Aberdare with Aunt Bebe and Bill the youngest to look after 2 miner brothers Jenkin and Charles when the shirt and glove factories failed in Somerset. She worked the Buttonholes.


Love from Auntie Jean."


Thank you, Auntie Jean.
