I know Florence (my grandma) was involved in singing in the music halls possibly entertaining the troops I think she was born around 1906 - 1910 and married John Ellwood, they had children John, Victor, George (my dad) and Iris
I know that my dad was born on Abbey Street ( the row that was demolished to create Eastgate)
