Pc David Deal
A Memory of Leiston.
My husband's great-grandfather David Deal was one of the police constables for Leiston and is mentioned in the 1901 Census aged 39 living with his wife Marianna and two of their three children at Valley Road, Leiston.
My husband remembers being shown the house in Valley Road by his father Harold Deal, himself a policeman. His grandfather William was indentured by David as an apprentice engine turner at Garretts in Leiston.
I would love to hear from anyone who might know of the Deal family.

As a little girl I lived in Leiston on King Georges Avenue.
My grandfather worked many years at Garretts and my father too for a wile. He eventually went into the Royal Air Force.
It would be lovely if you read this and we could somehow get in contact.
