I would like to know how to find out when he started working and what his job was. He must have been quite highly thought of as he died in his 40's and the company paid my grandmother his full wage until she was able to claim a pension and then painted her house for her as a final thankyou for his services. Is it possible that there is an archive somewhere that has this information???? Hopefully you have someone , somewhere that can help. Many thanks in anticipation Pene Brown Hi
