1928 His wife Ellen died in 1928 and Joseph put his 4 children into care and disappeared - my grandmother grew up in the Children's home and very rarely spoke about her parents as her and her twin were very young when it all happened. We do often speak about my great-grandparents and this year have decided to search for Ellen's grave as far as we know no-one would have visited it in over 90 years.
