« on: Monday 23 May 11 22:27 BST (UK) »
hi all
        I am hopeing that some one out there can possibly help me in finding a photograph of SULGWYN [SILAS/SID] REES he worked in shotton steel works he was there from abt 1927 until he died in 1952 his jobs were in 1939 a catcher in staff mills,Then in 1940 was a boiler scaler in 1944 a boiler ash wheele.also a boiler fireman,1949 he was also fireman no 2 in steel works i think his boss was mr parrish? he drank in the local pubs in connah's quay & shotton.This is a long shot as we do not have any pictures of him as all pictures ect got destroyed in a house fire many yrs ago.he lived in Dee road connah's quay. hope that there is someone out there who may have old pictures passed down to them?
