Douglas Staniforth
(aka Tommy)
Douglas should have been named Thomas Elijah Fairbanks
Staniforth but because my grandpa (Colin) and a friend of his Mr Buxton got a
bit tiddly before registering the baby they named him Douglas because they knew
it had something to do with the actor Douglas Fairbanks; Douglas grew up with
his mam and others calling him Tommy.
Below is a picture of the Staniforth family minus one - Sonia Kathleen was away being a nurse.
on the left as you look at it - Kathleen (nee Betts), Colin, Juanita Gertrude, Betty Marina, Gordon Barry, Enid Hidebrand, (behind Enid) James Colin, Olive Mary, Douglas.
All information was from my mam (Olive Mary nee Staniforth)
