Hello - does anyone have any information about this gentleman , business details / addresses / family / photos / living relatives etc etc , anything , My parents bought a house from him in 1968 and he moved to stratford upon avon after he had sold . I think he was elderly when he sold the house to us , I used to remember seeing us army ammo cases painted green in the shed up the garden back in the 70,s when i was a child and remember my dad saying that the old guy was in guns . I think he loved dogs too as mom said that she thinks that the dogs used to live upstairs as it smelled of dog urine . I think he was married too and possibly had kids.

Thread 'Arthur Ilsley Gunmaker born 1891 i think'

Hi all , im hoping that some of you good people can help me with this one ,I lost my dad in 2024 and my parents had lived in the same house since 1968 and now its just mom left there . Shes been talking lately about the fact that they never took one photo of the house when they moved in because they had no camera and the house was dilapidated and very overgrown. So I have had the crazy idea that I could trace the old owners family maybe to see if they had any photos of the house from way back in the day , I know the previous owners only lived there for 5 years or so so I could pursue them...
