According to Dr.Barnardo's records for my father HAROLD HEAP, his maternal aunt EVELINE HEAP was given custody of him around 1926 after his mother LILIAN VICTORIA HEAP died. The records are old and it shows that EVELINE had a son Geoffrey Smailes, although the paperwork is blotched over the spelling of SMAILES, so I am unsure of the spelling. All I know for sure is that Geoffrey was born at some point before my dad went into Dr Barnardo's. My dad was born in 1923 and the records show that he was just under 11 went he was placed in care.
CAN ANYONE SHED ANY LIGHT ON ANY OF THIS. I HAVE HIT A BRICK WALL.
