HI, I can't help, but I wonder if you have any information on a Waters I have been following. Thomas Day Waters married Elsie Lena Spalding in 1928 in Bristol. They had a daughter Theresa in 1930 and she married John Taylor in 1951 also in Bristol. he was a piano repairer. Its not for me, but for a distant cousin who lives in America. I said I would see if I could find her any living relatives, but never really got very far. It would be wonderful if you had any info! Barbara
