Moved to Hutton Brentwood Essex approx 1994-5 to be near Daughter.
Bertha remembers her dad Albert Edward coming home in his Army Uniform and putting her on his shoulders and taking her up the road to the sweetshop.
Bertha's Daughter tells of her Dad Stan arriving on his motorbike at the Bridge home (Valence Ave?) and asking two "dirty little urchins" whether Bertha lived at the house. One wiped her runny nose on her sleeve and said "no one with that name lives ere mate"; the other said "ere he means Sis". The two urchins were Mary & Voilet Miller, Bertha's Half Sisters.
