He lived at 27 Ramsbottom St. with his father. Bill was a single man who came from the Huncoat Birtwells.He never married. He drove an Austin 10 car, Regd No HDH 315. He was considered "well off" I suspect that he held a senior piosition in the firm. I will ask my aunt about him.
This is a long shot, but I am trying to trace my family ...all Accringtonians...and one is named Albert Birtwell .born 1904/06..he married my mother's sister,Gladys Wood...and they had a son called Harvey....I know they eventually moved to Somerset (Yeovil)....wondered if there was any connection....or is the name Birtwell very common....also trying very hard to trace my mother's brother Harry Wood (born 1910) he lived in Bold Street and had two or three sons....
