Hi There

When on my next holiday in Worcestershire I will have a look at the relivent Kellys directory for you (I hope that year is available)

All the very best

Phil

Hi,

I've been to Worcester History Centre this morning and had a look for you.

In 1936 the occupants of 11 Poplar Road were

John Griffiths & Mercy Griffiths.

You may also be interested to know at 10 Poplar Road were

Cyril Griffiths & Gladys Maud Griffiths.

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks: now to work out who they were!! It is an address which is given by a visitor  (whom I'm interested in) on the incoming manifests  where she was staying.  She came from Kidderminster.

I've managed to find out the relationship: not one I expected but one of those unusual cross references you get from time to time. Again many thanks.

Hi Saxon

Just hope that one of my 2 sorces in WOR have the right Kellys (they are Worcester History Centre & Kidderminster library so one of them may have it).  If I cant find the exact year I will send you as close as I can to it

All the very best
