Alfred Tatlock

Alfred Tatlock was Albert Tatlock's brother and Valerie Barlow's father who lived in Glasgow. He married his first wife, Edna Ellis, in 1921. In 1923, they gave birth to their only child together, Joyce. However, later in the year, both Edna and Joyce died of scarlet fever. However, he re-married in 1936 to Edith Brown and their only child together, Valerie, was born 26 November 1942. In Episode 68 (7 August 1961), he, according to Val, had gotten the post of Station Master in Glasgow, which she told her "Uncle Albert". Since he was not seen with his wife in any of the episodes she appeared in, it could be presumed he died between Episode 68 and Episode 875 (12 May 1969) (his wife's first appearance), even though it was never mentioned
