I was a little surprised to discover my paternal grandfather was recorded as a visitor with the Underhill family in Glamorgan on the night of the 1921 census.
I think I’ve mentioned before that there was a connection between this family and my grandfather. I found a letter in my grandmothers possession on the death of my grandfather calling him and Tom Underhill ‘brothers’. Although they were not related by birth (that I can uncover) there was clearly some connection that I will now not find.
I found my great uncle Alfred Young staying with the family on the night of the 1911 census. Sadly he died during the First World War.
My grandfather’s occupation is listed as Tailor’s Assistant, Read and Company, Portsmouth (out of work).
