Visible in 1901 census in Shoreditch. I have copy of birth and death certificates. Won a choralscholarship to York Minster as a teenager but his mother decided he had to leave school to helpsupport the family instead (WW1). Met Gladys at evening classes (and decided straight away thathe would marry her). Was a gym instructor, great physique. They performed musicalentertainments together during WW1. First job just to earn money was for Carron & Co byThames; had to drown rats caught in cages overnight. Decided to train as salesman afterconsultation; first sales job in London for Gestetner selling fabric measuring device; heavy, no car.Nana helped him show companies how much extra fabric they were giving away; did well. Nextjob: sales for sweet company in Glasgow; did well but company went bust in depression; third salesjob with Rowntree's as East Anglia rep; got car! When living in Kent, walked with Gladys along thecliffs from Westgate to Burchington and puzzled over the pairs of sandbags tied up by each lamppost. Decided they ought to untie the tops to make it easier to pour the sand on a fire; and sowalked back (5 miles) untying every bag. Home Guard CO told the unit 'Some silly bugger hasuntied the tops of all our sandbags; didn't they know you throw the whole bag on top?' So: walkedback and tied the tops all up again. Coastal Command: (Grandpa was in Norfolk; then stationed atStornoway on the Isle of Lewis for part of WWII). Mother remembered the Halifaxes, and saysGrandpa's squadron flew Lancasters when he was at Lincoln. Salesman for Rowntree's.He was in 502 Squadron: "In January 1942 the squadron officially moved to both Norfolk (RAFDocking) and Cornwall, where a maintenance station was set up at RAF St Eval. Until 1944 thesquadron's main role was to carry anti-submarine patrols. In January 1943 conversion to HalifaxGR.Mk.IIs began, the first patrol by this type being flown on 12 March. In addition to anti-submarine patrols, now also attacks on enemy shipping off the French coast were made. InSeptember 1944 with the French coast back in Allied hands, the squadron moved to Scotland atRAF Stornoway to carry out attacks on German shipping off the Norwegian coast, remaining thereuntil the end of the war. It was disbanded on 25 May 1945.""I remember Daddy saying a prayer at the family get together in 1946 when all were dischargedand home again (60 of us) at Uncle Bill’s house, at how we had all been through the war and herewe were, thanks be to God altogether to celebrate the end of the horrific war. We all sang ‘Nowthank we all our God’ and then we all cried and hugged each other. A day I treasure.".

"John Diver born about 1590 left a will from which it is possible to work out three generations of the Diver family inIsleham with help from parish records. Although the parish records are of limited help at this time, it is possible thatthis was the only Diver family in Isleham between 1590 and 1680. Although I can find no definitive evidence it alsoseems possible (even likely if this is the only Diver family in Isleham at the time) that this John Diver is the greatgrandson of John Diver born about 1590 and married to Margaret Unknown and that the line is through John Diverborn 1618 and his son John Diver by his first wife Ann Unknown. The first three generations of this line is evidentthrough the will.
