Hi
I am looking for any information on my grandfather Billy McKegg who was born in 1909 in York and lived in the Walmgate area. He left York after 1932 and went to London, he was living there in 1938 in the Paddington area and from 1939 to 1958 was in Hammersmith at various addresses including Aldine St, Stanlake Rd and Blythe Rd.
He lived with a lady called Alexandra (Konheiser / Conner / McKegg) in Hammersmith for about 20 years.
Sadly when Alexandra died Billy lived in Carrington House Deptford in 1960 - a homeless shelter and in 1961 another homeless shelter in Old Street Finsbury.
I am hoping that someone remembers Billy (maybe from local pubs) or has any stories from other generations.
Thanks in advance
