    Quinton factory ?

    I cant find any reference for a Richard Lunt factory in Quinton but piecing things together ( with no evidence) I see she and her Mother were "charing" in 39 and could have cleaned The Punch Bowl and Lunts but its all just guessing.

    Quinton factory ?

    YES......THANKS both......I had thought about Lunt and found a Lunt Grove but it didnt look likely to have been a factory here at that time.....and her younger niece might have worked there as she was in 39 register as a Hand Press Worker.....I know hand press work was being done around Hockley...

    Sun Street

    My Mothers family were from Wednesfield and Tipton and both families went to The Wirral ( they didnt know each other) But I suppose they were drawn to each other being from same place and anyway 2 got married and had 3 children. The Dad died in 1930 and it seems that then my Nan moved back to...

    Baciochi/Bacchiochi Family?

    I have same conundrum with an Italian name. Rumour passed down a normally silent family was someone marrying an Italian. I think after exhausting searches found someone who could be the people involved. In 1950's a Josephine Fox married Michele S. Callecia in Newcastle Under Lyme. No further...
