Hi Nick
As my previous reply we have actually been in contact via GR- and direct email addresses.
We think that your great grandad Richard may be our great great grandad- our great grandad is William Henry Fleet- his father being called Richard. We had a got a bit mixed up and thought that Alice and William were siblings- so thank you for clarifying that for us.
If you have any photos or memorobilia of either Fred or Alice that you could scan and email to me that would be greatly appreciated. I guess we'll never find out about Fred's father! I wonder why all the bios about him - say he and Eva never had any children?
Regards
Julie Gregory (nee Fleet)
