I didn't know there were two Unett Streets, my grandmother would have been attached to the Smethwick one.

Astoness your a star, I didn't realize she was still at Unett Street in the 1930's. So sad I am the last of the clan and there's no one to
share with. This lady has eluded me for years, well done you.

Lyn, this brings back so many memories. Aunt Olive was indeed married by then to Ted Brittain. Burton Wood was always known as Uncle Tom, Burton was his grandmothers maiden name. The star of is grandma, she would never tell anyone her age and there it is in black and white.
Thankyou so much.
