Hello everyone
I have the discharge papers for a relative who served in WW1 and it states that prior to joining up he was a paint mixer employed by what looks like "Thornby & Knight Lea" of Bordesley Green Road, Birmingham. I've tried looking up this company in Kellys Directories but am not getting any hits. Can anyone shed any light on this company? Do I have the name right? Were they linked to the car manufacturing industry perhaps? Any info would be very gratefully received!
