I was born the eldest of three boys, my father Ernest (Ernie) spending most of his life as a Toolmaker at the local cycle factory. Throughout the war he served in the Royal Navy within the Gunner Branch.

But sadly he passed into the "World of Light" at the early age of 46, through cancer. My Father has always been a major inspiration to me, whether as a small child, during my days in the Royal Navy, and since his passing in 1971. I often see or receive information from him, and this link is the main reason I am motivated to help others to comprehend the interaction between the two-worlds, encouraging them to seek spiritual knowledge and understanding. Other members of my family, including my wife Linda, sons Paul and David, sister-in-law Sue and brother Stuart are avid followers of my spiritual work and attend my local Spiritualist Church Nottingham 1^st Derby Road, Nottingham, England.
