    Childhood friends of my Nan

    I have some names of her former boyfriends. Of course would probably be around 1949-1956 Leslie Hill (I would assume lived in Birmingham) Albert Humphrey (originally from Luton) he had a brother called Brian Humphrey (I believe he was living in Dunstable but again could be wrong on that)
