Hello list, My great grandfather, Charles Wilson (1868-1964) apparently ran a bakery in the Aston or West Bromwich area at the turn of the century, it was a big enough operation to include a few delivery wagons etc. Would anybody know where abouts I might be able to find details about this ? Web based or other ? Regards Phil
You could look at the Historical Directories site. http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/findbykeyword.asp I haven't yet found a WILSON who is a baker - but you might if you search more thoroughly HTH Anne On 20 Jul 2008, at 06:58, Phil wrote: > Hello list, > My great grandfather, Charles Wilson (1868-1964) apparently ran a > bakery in the Aston or West Bromwich area at the turn of the > century, it was a big enough operation to include a few delivery > wagons etc. > > Would anybody know where abouts I might be able to find details > about this ?

Web based or other ? I have found a Charles E Wilson aged 33 in the 1901 census who was a baker and confectioner. His wife's name was Ada. He was living at 273 King Edward Road. Is this likely to be him? Regards Peter
