Re: Accy Family Mortimer’s
Welcome Karen.
Your enquiry can be better dealt with in the 'lost friends and family' section...so it might be worth putting your question in there as well. I am sure there will be someone on here who will try to help you. Karen, have you some dates or addresses for these relatives of yours?

Re: Accy Family Mortimer’s
Hi Karen
I like many more on here did know a Arthur Mort as we knew him, I did not know him very well but do remember him as he used to get down Clayton a bit and have gill or two in the Hare n Hounds or any other pub on the way to Trelly's scrap yard with his horse n cart as he used to do a bit of rag tattin. Can see him now Portly chap a round red face, flat hat long coat and leather brat. Don't know if this is the A Mort your after but must say he was a grand chap. |

Re: Accy Family Mortimer’s
Knew Art mort from early 60s used to lurk around the Plantation St area quite a bit, later in life he moved onto the street off Burnley Rd, were the Boars Head Pub was, i forget name of street and i only lived immediately around the corner
 Have to say he was a top geezer and very good nature d.Also had one or two with him in the St Ledger on Plantation St.
