More Family Tree Stuff
Further to my Southall-side family researches, it turns out that my uncle Mike was born in Lullingstone Castle, Kent [pictured], the family home of Sir William Hart-Dyke, in 1929. I might add that his father and mother, my great-uncle and great-aunt, were in service to the family, just prior to WWII. I think I might have found my great-uncle Frank's [my grandad's brother] previous billet, in Northamptonshire, as the sole footman in a more modest(!)ly sized household in Towcester: the residence of one Major Thomas Fermor Hesketh. I'll let you know if this one's confirmable or not, but suffice to say, the plot thickens...
