Greater Birmingham including husband and wife

children Dennis and Barbara Budd and Doreen.

Alfred was injured at number 4 Alfred Road, but died in
the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

In other locations there were cases of othere lost siblings
such as NINA and RUTH BARSBY.  Ruth was oinly 12 and 
Nina was 17 years young.
