It’s the same house in the same street, only now we have 8 adults living in it.
Harry Vollmer Hayes has moved out. Where did he go? Did he emigrate? Many thousands did. There is a family tale of a distant relative from Australia visiting St Erth in the 30s. He arrived in a car that was so big it couldn’t turn around in the square. Some hyperbole surely, but someone somewhere emigrated and made good.
It’s also typical of my family that my great uncle Leonard conveniently neglected to tell his brother (my grandfather) until much later. And no, we are not and never have been a close knit family.

Now's a good time to include the second page of the Family Bible
