    Thanks Richard/ Ray. So if my Aunt (Mary J Williams - marital name Kingdom) worked at a 'Stator Winder' (second line down on image)' then SHE would have worked at GEC (in Small Motors, Standard Motors or Fan Shop)? Please can you clarify your further comment below: 'By t the site of ICI Higgs...

    GEC WITTON WORKS

    Hi, Just seen this thread about GEC (Witton Works). My Late Great Aunt (Mary J Williams Born 1923 - 181 Deykin Anvenue - Witton) worked as a 'Stator Winder' in 1939. I'm unsure if she worked at GEC as she had a pension from ICI (30 years service). But I do remember GEC being mentioned as a young...

    Mary Williams - (Lived in Witton) Born 1887

    With Regard to my Great Aunt Mary (Josephine Williams). I have established she was born 30th November 1923 and lived with her Mum Mary and Father James (new info) at 181 Deykin Avenue (Witton) and looks like the Father died 1930 (aged 50). But I am interested in Mary J's: Early life Schools...

    Mary Williams - (Lived in Witton) Born 1887

    Hi, A Staff member at the Library printed this off for me and gave me some links to resources but did not get a lot from it, possibly you need some patience, perseverance with the websites, I'm not much of a detective tbh. Looks like 87 but could be 89?

    Mary Williams - (Lived in Witton) Born 1887

    Hi Lyn, Thanks. Yes, I did notice a (Male) McDonnell born in 1919 in my search (did not see the name Jordan), so I guess he could be from a previous marriage as you've suggested. My Late Aunt (Mary J Kingdom 1923-2024) was Mary's daughter (same forename as her Mum), did not mention any Jordan...
