A Walter George Firth seems to have had links to the Bernard Leach Pottery in St Ives in the late 40’s early 50’s. ( per Google search for Walter George Firth, St Ives)

I’ve had a read it doesn’t say how - I wonder if they would be able to provide any information, I’ve never approached anyone before

My grandmother wasn’t in contact with her family so this is very interesting to me

I was looking along those lines as well and there is a possible match for the son  living in Cornwall per Voters Rolls who would be approx right age.

Hi again, Faloola, somewhere along the line I believe you will have to purchase evidence like birth/marriage/death certificates, Probate/Wills of this family?!

Hi again, personally, the marriage certificate of Walter George Firth so as to confirm his father was indeed Walter Firth, and his occupation.
Jessie also has Probate, death 8th May 1980 at 27, South Street, Rugby
