hello Bren, no, my brother Markham was not an albino, be was born with brain damage due to lack of oxygen during an emergency C section. My mother said he was put into care when he was very young and she couldn't cope. She doesn't want to talk about the past so I can't ask her for more information. My brother Michael was born in Shroffold road 1946, another boy was born shorthly after, my brother Matthew in 1956 and myself, christened Mandy, in 1957. After Markham was born in 1959 and put into care the family moved away and the marriage broke up. The only brother I know is Matthew who knows less than I do about the family. Michael would have been at school in Downham, but I don't know what schools he went to. I remember he wore a cap and short trousers but I expect all school boys did then!
I have been searching census records for previous generations hoping to trace it back but found nothing definite yet. My father's family seem particularly elusive.
Any advice anyone can give me about how to go about looking will welcome.
Amanda
