Hi Kat, haven't been online for a while have you had any more news?No info yet on Lionel, but I have contacted gaybirmingham remembered. Hopefully I will have some news soon.
Hi I run a facebook group Birmingham Gay Scene History and Memories, if you wish to join and pose the question there, someone maybe able to assist, I remember both Laurie and Lionel from the Jug on albert street and when it moved to water street/livery st.Hi Lansor, you beat me to it! I was just about to post an update.
I have found a member of the Stockland Strawbridge's with some great information on the family, but still nothing on Lionel.
It is still a mystery, but with all of the things I have found on my search for our family history, it is not going to surprise me if I do find anything about him. Perhaps it will just take time. Thanks for being interested, I will be sure to add any info I find.
