Re: John Melvin
Thank you all very much for your kindness in providing this fascinating information.
He was my great grandather. I know he left school at 11 so managed to better himself in a quite dramatic way.
I am trying to find out more of John Melvin, a Roman Catholic businessman who died in 1940 at the age of 90.
His son was Martin Melvin. He lived in Olton. Thank you
