Michael's mother Emily Elizabeth Allen. Photo taken about the time she would of met Michael's Canadian father. Emily was married but her soldier husband serving with the British Army in the Middle East was presumed dead, and after 3 years of no contact she met Michael's Canadian father. Emily was a bus conductress during the war. Alby/Albert would visit Emily at her home, 11 Wellington Street, Lewes, East Sussex. He even came back to see Michael when he was 11 years old. but unfortunately did not keep in touch after that visit.

It has only been a few months since Michael found out that his father who raised  him  was not his birth father. A lot to take in when you are 66 years old. Michael is trying to find out if any other members of his family know about his Canadian father. In the meantime if you can help Michael find his Canadian father/family please contact us quoting case number 71624.
