Hi Chris,
My aunt Katherine Charles married Frederick French a brother of John and Alice. Katherine was my mother Gladys Charles's eldest sister. I met Frederick and Katherine in late 1940,s before they moved to Bedford from Rowley Village.
Three of their children are still alive and I exchange info with them as they are interested in family history. I have a lot of detail reference French Family and I will send you a personal message with my contact details
