He married twice: his first marriage produced Joe and Fred, and his second marriage to Dorothy Fellows, in about 1921 produced Jim (my father) and David. He had lots of brothers who were also in the retail trade. He was my grandfather, and I'd love to find any of his descendants! His father was called Charles who had a fruit and veg shop on Devonshire St in Birmingham. I'd especially like to know who his first wife was and the circumstances of their marriage.
