Hello James,

Yes, it is the same. I would appreciate any information you have on Eileen and Harold. Photographs would be fantastic if you have any. Do they have any living grandchildren? I know they had a grand daughter Joan Danswan. Eileen's mother Henrietta Johanna Caroline Siebe married Wilhelm Mittlestrass (I have photographs of Henrietta if anyone is interested) Henrietta was German and Wilhelm Austrian. After Wilhelm Died she married William Platton. Although we descend from the Mittlestrass, our name was changed during W.W.1 to Platton as Wilhelm the son of Wilhelm & Henrietta was in the British Army in India and for obvious reasons didn't want a German surname.
My email address is

Regards
Jean Platton
