I am looking for information on an Elsie Irene Evans born circa 1921, she was living in Somerville Road, Aston, in 1939 and she was working at Lucas's factory... Worth a try
only info i can give (from electoral rolls) is that in 1939 when she was living at 111 somerville rd. the other occupants were mary ann evans, john william hogarth and daisy ella hogarth. i dont really know what info you want but hope this helps
That's good detective work! All I know is her name and address in 1939. She is my dad's mum and he was put into a home when he was 1 (in 1939) so that's all I have... if I could find her d.o.b then it would be easier... my dad was told she was 16 in 1939 (so born c 1921) but then I paid for the 1939 census and it said 1916 so I am none the wiser really... thanks anyway. The hunt continues!
