John Edward Edwards, or 'Jack" as he became known to family and friends went to School in central Liverpool. In 1919, at the age of 13 years he was attending Tiber Street Council School.
He courted and married his sweetheart, Betsey, in those years between the World Wars and in 1930 they had their first and only child, Dorothy Weldon.
In World War Two Jack volunteered for the Liverpool Fire brigade, attending many of the fires during "The Blitz" that bombarded downtown Liverpool and the dock area.
Their marriage was a good one, they travelled around England and Wales, from Lands End and to John O'Groats. Betsey would be Jacks "love of his life" as after her tragic death in 1961 he never remarried.
