Hi Debbie
Thanks for your email. This is all very exciting.
My father was Dorothy Smith's first child and although he went to primary school as Albert Chick , Dorothy left him with her mother, Elizabeth Smith (nee Bowden), and he changed his name to Smith. He showed me the location of the Long Acre restaurant once when we were in London.
Dad married my mother Daphne (they met in Bristol when King's College London was evacuated there) and I have a brother Peter. Dad said he didn't know what happened to his mother, Dorothy, but there was something about her later marrying a man who owned a biscuit business. Dad didn't keep in touch with his half-sister Dorothy (although she stayed with my mother when Dad was away in the RAF) and his half-brother Philip was drowned at sea during WWII. Nor did his mother keep in touch with him (so far as I know - I never met her). I have some pictures of Dad with his mother, Dorothy, when he was v. young.
On Dad's birth certificate, Dorothy is recorded as living at 4 Grayshott Road in Lavender Hill, Battersea, and being a cinema usher. Dad died 10 years ago this week.
Who is Peggy? And where do you fit in?
Warm regards
Paul Smith

My father's mother was Dorothy Smith and she had several brothers and sisters. She married a Chick in 1925, I think. They ran a fish restaurant in Long Acre, Covent Garden, London. Dorothy married again and had a daughter (also Dorothy) and a son (killed in WWII). My father (Edgar Albert) was the older Dorothy's first son.
