Apparently Harold had a son called Harold
May had a sister called Agnes who lived at wall street I have two addresses but not sure who lived at either Hignall park rd and newhall hill
any info would be greatly appreciated as may passed away 2006 grandad last week and the two elderly sisters have no idea of where they are let alone who they are now aged 90+ but they dont even have a photo that would help
