His two sons from second marriage are living in Canada as of 1999 when I made contact with them. They sent me a few photos of Grandpa.

I know that Grandpa worked for the phone company and helped with the Trans-Atlantic phone installation in Canada. I am not sure why they left England and went to Canada.

Inventor of many things, but no one can tell me what
