Suzanne (surname suplied) added (March 2011): "... I am Wilbur and Bette's daughter from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.. My Mum passed away in 1992 and my Dad in 2000. I came to England in 1996 with my Mum's birth certificate and their marriage license and by knocking on doors found my Mum's sister. I was able to meet all of my family and have been back many times. They have been to the U.S. to stay with me. This is wonderful to see this photo on this site".
