Reference details
Hello Michael,
I just came across your page on my grandfather, Herbert Ribton Meredith.
There are a few inaccuracies I thought I would let you know about so that they can be put right.
Herbert and Lorna, my grandparents, had three children, not four. The oldest was my aunt who we knew as Jane but whose full name was Alison Janine Meredith (born November 28 1930). The second was my mother, Stephanie Gillian Meredith (born November 15 1931). The third was my uncle Nicholas Sandes Meredith, (born August 24 1935).
Herbert was born on April 7 1890, the oldest of four brothers and a sister. Lorna Avril Sandes, his wife, was born April 27, 1911. She had a younger brother, Mike, who was a pilot, shot down by friendy fire during WW2 at the age of 28. My mother and I visited his grave in Dorset.
Best Wishes
Caro Handley
