I'm not sure whether this should be here or on General - but just a big 'thank you' to all who took an interest in my 'One Step Forward, Two Steps Back' thread about my grandfather David John Passe and the elusive 'Nana Jakes'.
I now have the marriage cert and she was married before to a Frank Alban which is where the three sisters, Norma, Jean and Joyce came from.
Her first name was Jeanette, so Nell, your suggestion that 'Jakes' could have been a pet name could well be right!
My two cousins never knew about this bit of family history, so I'm rather chuffed that I've been able to add something. A lot of people have worked hard with this for me, so a big 'thank you' to everyone.
