«i»Bettie's recollection«/i»
Robert (Dad) was a turner in the GWR (Great Western Railway) workshop in Barry, down the hill from home. She doesn't know whether he was a turner all the time but that is what is on her birth certificate. She also recalls that he used to work at a lathe. 'He was a gentle soul suffered heart trouble most of my [Bettie's] life with him. Smoked a pipe only twice a week. He was born and brought up in Gloucester.' He never lost his Gloucester accent.
Work took up a lot of his time: he used to leave the house at 7.30 in the morning and return at 5.30 in the evening, and on Saturdays he worked till 12 noon. The chapel was a large part of family life (see below). At other times, when not resting after work, he worked in the garden. At one time he had an allotment. He liked to go for short walks, and Bettie sometimes went with him. (He didn't have a bicycle: 'Barry was too hilly.')
David was the only grandchild he knew. 'Dad died of heart attack on 30 Jan 1940', aged 60 [59 looks correct from the dates]. It was a cold day; he died at work after walking down from home in snowy and icy conditions.
[David has the idea that Bob did a large share of the parenting.]
