I am looking for my grandfather Joseph Hughan from Liverpool. He used to live in the 55 or 58 Cockorrellstreet in Liverpool. As a british soldier he went to world war II in Berlin-Germany where he felt in love with my grandmother Waltraut Kauer. She became pregnant with my father Peter Josef Kauer born on august 16, 1946. He wanted to marry my grandmother but her family did not accept the relationship . Jospeh went back to Liverppol and probably later on to the Korean war.Unfortunately, that is all I know. My grandmother died in 1999. I know he was always in her heart. Thank you so much for reading. Regards, Simone
