Hi all My grandfather, William Richard VEASEY lost a leg in an industrial accident in Birmingham. Photographic evidence shows him uninjured in about 1904, but I suspect the accident happened before he married my grandmother in 1918. After he died in 1944, I know my grandmother received a small pension from Belliss and Morcom, so wonder if this is who he was working for at the time of the accident. Does anyone have any suggestions how I might best follow up this line of research? TIA Peter
