My Father, Charles William Heaton, was born on the 9th August 1895 in Dyke Street, Everton, Lancashire, England^[1], making him just about a month older than my motherLilian Gertrude Gibson .He attended St. John's Church in Everton where he was a choirboy; in later years he was to develop a fine baritone voice.

He posessed a fine collection of; books including the complete works of William Shakespear as well as on history and philosophy, gramaphone records and pianola rolls: (Many of the books have been passed down to me).

At the age of 15 Charles moved from Everton to Bloomsbury, London, where was apprenticed to his Uncle Harry Smyth (1872 - 1827) as a French Polisher.

I think he was a highly principled man and a firm Socialist both by nature and politically ; he may also have been at one time a member of The Communist Party.
