How did Percy end up in a colliery village in North Notts when he was born in Richmond, Surrey? Did he work down the pit or did he have another job or no job? How did he meet Laura?

Why were his siblings spread about the country with one sister in Canada? Why did his mother have a different surname and some of his siblings yet a different one? Was he really a Barnardo’s boy?

Why did he work so hard to ensure his only child was well educated and cared for? Why did he care so much for me?`

    So many questions and so maybe it could be the subject of a drabble series. It sounds like there would be a lot to interest and maybe a fair bit of drama attached to the story. A suggestion (albeit unrequested) might be to write a series of drabbles from the differing perspectives of the various actors outlined above. It could be fascinating to work out the full story from the ‘clues’ in each drabble. Just a thought!

    Thank you for your support Neville. Unfortunately I do not seem able to develop a series. I have had one or two goes but they tend to dry up.

    Very intricate, if it could turn into a crime plot, would have kept us at the edge!

    Definitely sounds like a cracking good start to a series. I see it's a true story but you could always embellish it if you made it into a series (unless the truth really is stranger than fiction).
