    My Dad worked for Hughes Biscuits, he was a driver, when the 2nd war broke out he left and joined the army, he would have worked there sometime from1930 to 1939. He never took a driving test in those days and was a driver all his life.

    Ada road school memorial.

    It is interesting reading the notes, I think my Dad could have gone to this school. Would there be any records saves as to who had attended. My Dad was Walter Wentworth Morris born 16th Sept. 1915 so he was perhaps at the school from 1920.

    Grandma's Shop name Morris

    Thank you very much, I know very little of this side of my family, my dad would not have anything to do with his father. There must have been reasons he would not discuss.
