Greyhound Coaches Owned By Sam Wilkes

Frank Parker

https://frankparker.website
I have just found out from my Dad's Cousin in Canada that Dad's Grandad's Brother, Dave Wilkes, used to run a coach company called Greyhound. As far as I know he lived in Wolverhampton. Dave had Brother's named Sam (known as "Shocker", my Dad's Grandad) "Winky", Isiah and Tom. :)

Did anyone on this site know any of them or of the coach company? It may still be running today?! :rolleyes:
 
There is no Dave Wilks, or any Wilkes associated with coaches,or the like, or greyhounds (other than pubs or dog racing) in the 1940 staffs Kellys

Bluebrummie - if it was in Canada this is the company and is still running.:)Mo https://www.greyhound.ca/en/

Hi Mo. No it isn't that one because Dave was from The Bushbury area of Wolverhampton (most of my Dad's relatives were and still are!). My Dad's Cousin said to look for names of coach companies from Wolverhampton in the 1940's so I will have to do that! :rolleyes:
