What else do you know about him?

Have you tried researching?

A recent post of yours on General Chat says you were thinking of a short sub. to Ancestry so you should be able to access many of these records yourself.

Many thanks for your reply with lots of information.ive just started doing a bit of family research again after quite a while, I don't know how/where I got it from but I have Albert wife's name as Elizabeth Newton I will have to back check it. Albert was my husbands great uncle his brother Herbert was my husbands grandfather.
Once again thank you for your help, I seem to remember your assistance when I first started to look into our families. Regards Theresa
