How do I know this? My late granny and her mother were the next door neighbours, immortalised as Mrs Kettle and her daughter. I came across your blog trying to find out Watts was her maiden name as I've just bought a postcard sent from their house in 1944 - so finding her husband was watts hasn't helped much!
