Sounds like a great time is had by all Brian. My mum only kept in touch with one of Bert's sisters. Her name was Lucy and she did have a daughter, so the lady you met may have been her.

Bert's only other grand-daughter lives in London, so the lady you spoke to probably would have been Bert's niece. I don't know her unfortunately. Thanks for the message though Brian. Do you mind...

Bert was tall, he must have been over 6 foot - maybe 6' 1. With regards to his voice, well I have seen the film that you are talking about as Chris sent me a copy. He certainly doesn't have a...

Thank you for your kind message. I don't think I've ever been called 'noble' before - been called lots of other things though!!

Yes, I did indeed read the book. What do I think of my Grandpa now? Well....disappointed, ashamed and very angry at his cruel and shocking behaviour. Probably the same emotions you would feel had...

Gentlemen I may have a result. Visited my local library and although they have not got a copy in the county where I live, the librarian has assured me they can get it from another county. Very kind...

Am going to pluck up the courage and read book. Don't know what else to say, infact what can I say?

M' lord, my mother doesn't hate George Skelly. I don't think she has ever met him and as far as I know she's only ever heard him speak on the radio. George Skelly hated my grandfather.

Underworld,

Amazing photo! Thank you. Bert had a Rover 2000. Don't ask me what model but it was the 1970's type! Me and my brother would squeal with delight because he would start up the car and...

Thank you Underworld for clippings. Have actually seen them but thanks all the same. Will watch video footage tonight and let you know what I think. Think I remember my mum talking about a TV...

Underworld,

Thank you for your message. George Skelly hated my grandpa as my mum has talked about him. Will his book be accurate and unbiased? You mention 'Bert's methods'. Why am I starting...

Many thanks for the pictures. Am intrigued to know how you got the old one? Don't think even my mum has that one because I would have seen it. Are we related at all, distant cousins maybe?

Thank you for such prompt responses and kind messages. All I can say is why and how could he have let this happen? Even if there was a tiny fraction of a doubt he should have done something. Yes,...

I am Mildred's daughter, Bert's second eldest grandchild. My grandpa died when I was just seven years old. My memory of him is that he was the most patient and loving grandfather. My mother said...

What is it that you would like to know about Bert Balmer? I never knew there was so much interest in him? He died in 1970 from a massive hear attack. Please let me know specific questions and I...
