Hello

Yes I'm pretty sure they ran off to Ireland - I'm not even sure if Grandad's first name is William Henry or Harry. I'm pretty sure that Peter and Ellen aren't his parents unless Granddad lied about everything - Dad always said he was pretty cut up about his parents dying. Granddad was supposed to have joined the army and fought in the Boer war but was injured and picked up by Canadain Doctors who found out he was only 15 - that's why I thinkhe was born in 1884(ish) rather than 1881.
