Title: Look up request please, Staffs
Post by: jcjc123 on Thursday 13 August 20 01:54 BST (UK)

I have Alfred George Lear born 1912 in Gnosall, Staffs.
His parents Alfred & Gertie (also a sister Gertie) lived there till the 1930's at least.
In the 1930's both his parents died and his sister was a domestic servant elsewhere, lots of info on them, but he seems to disapear.
My only link is the possibility this chap lived to a very old age and died just recently 2004 in Warwickshire. (Vague link suggestions and no real further info).

Also, would anyone have links to further info on Westwood sanatorium, Wordsley, and what it was in 1932, I suspect a TB hosp but can't find anything to confirm.

Many thanks

Thank you!
That looks to be the man as his father's full name and job title are correct.
Can you tell me please if you have his address, at the time of his marriage.

Many thanks.
