Can any one out there help me to make sense of some vague memories? My mother who was born on Longacre in 1906, and whose family were coal merchants and haulage contractors, worked for a family by the name of Brunn. I am not sure of the spelling because I understand that Mr Brunn is:star: French.
There were two sons by his first marriage and their mother may also have been French. However, after her death he married a second time to an English woman and there were no other children. Mr. Brunn owned and ran a café in the early to mid 1920s which I believe might have been on Nechells Green. The trouble is although my mother spoke of the Brunn couple with great affection, and was obviously very attached to them, I cannot remember their forenames or the names of the two sons. Does any one know any thing of the Brunn family and or the café?
