   George Cannon was married before he married Olive & had a daughter called Eileen, who went by the name of Gladys and who was David's half sister. In the meantime Olive married George, & they had a son called David, born 17th Dec 1936. When Olive died David's father George tried to look after a new born baby. but after many months he found that he could not manage it, with work etc. Roy & Clara ( Clare ) offered to take and to raise him, he was about 9 or 10 months old at that time, otherwise George said that he would be put into a home. Clara was concerned that she was only married for a short time, but then she would suddenly produced a bonny baby!!!!. David lived with Roy & Clara for a year or two before they had a child of their own, called Terence ( me ) Roy & Clare had the opportunity to adopt David but decided not to, as they thought that he should keep his own identity. My earliest memory was sharing a double bed with David & for many years to come. David always called Roy & Clare, Auntie & Uncle to maintain his identity. No formal paperwork for taking David into their home was ever completed, or suggested.

Gladys previously at one stage, went to live with Roy & Clare, It might have been when Olive was having David, as the distance from Roy's & Clare's house, to where Olive lived with George was within walking distance.
   After Olive died, David's father George was not interested in how David was getting on & did not come to visit him at all, he then started a new family & had several children with his new wife. David had no contact with him at all, & when Terry was around 8 years old, himself & David cycled over to his dads new family home several times over a couple of years, but never meet the new wife or his Dad & were never invited into the family home. We met his half sister & another half sibling, and just played in the garden with them, for hour or two then went back home to Molesey.
