Dear Sandra Balfour,
My father David Ernest Allsopp was born in Tamworth in 1918 (June 20) - second child of Ernest Gaines Allsopp m. Alma Allsopp nee Scarrott . E.G. Allsopp lived and worked in Tamworth where he managed a textile factory producing webbing. His brother (name forgotten) - a collector -contributed to the collection housed in Tamworth Castle - armour, stamps. I remember visiting him in the mid-1950s.There were spinster sisters too'Aunties Ida and Eve'. I was born in Lichfield in 1950 and my parents lived in Longdon, Nr. Lichfield from 1949 - 68 when they moved to West Somerset.My grandfather died at his holiday house in Woody Bay, Devon in 1952. I presently live in South Devon and my son Jamie Allsopp (b. 1978) now lives in London.
Perhaps this is of interest.
Best wishes,
Dr. Richard (David) Allsopp
