Basil Patman was my great-granfather.He married Alice Curtis in 1915 in Sculcoates, Hull, England and they had two sons, Gordon and William (Bill, who is my mother's father).Alice died sometime after Gordon was born, and Basil told the family that he would go to Australia to start a new life, and send for the boys when he had established a new life.There are records of him living in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia, but he never sent for the boys.The sons were separated and brought up by relatives.
My mother, grandmother and I would be very grateful for any extra information or stories you can provide on this.

Jennie Coates
