Lichfield Tobacconists c1913-1919

[gmcoates]

I am trying to find Lichfield Tobacconists c1913-1919
I have three target names, Pullen. Turnbull and Piggott

But any would do as the people I'm after were perhaps not the named proprietor.

Thanks, Mark

Bennett's directory 1914

'A Lichfield Divorce'

In the Divorce Court on Wednesday, a decree nisi was granted FREDERICK DANIEL PULLEN because of his wife's misconducr with CHARLES HENRY PIGGOTT at Bird Street, Lichfield.

There was no defence.

Petitioner said he was married in 1899 and lived happily with his wife until 1913, when they made the acquaintance of PIGGOTT at BRISTOL.

There was a deed of separation, and the wife was alleged, went to live at BIRD STREET, with co-respondent.

There’s another article in the Western Daily Press, Bristol, England.  More background.  Do you
want me to type it out.  Mr Frank Daniel Pullen was living in Pullen Street, Bristol, or do you have the info?

[gmcoates]

I have the Western Daily Press article which doesn't mention Bird Street
I'm very keen to track the movements of Charles Henry Piggott

The 1914 Directory might be a little early as it would have been composed in the time leading up to publication and the chap I'm after was there in 1914 and easily could have moved in after the data was collected ?

There is a Kelly's of 1916, that might prove more informative

[gmcoates]

Got it
