Kerrie, Thought about searching censuses but there are quite a "few" WELLS in Leicester!! Then searched Historical Directories for Upper Conduit Street - first one I opened was for 1914 and guess what - Daniel WELLS lives at no 35 Berners Street, just around the corner from Upper Conduit Street - could he be related to your lady do you think?? He's listed as a "Canvasser". Bit of a long shot I know but may be worth further ferreting in the directories if you can work out rough date for photo. http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/c.asp?ZyActionD=ZyDocument& Client=Test+Web+Site&Index=Historical%20Directories&&Query=upper%20conduit%20street& File=E%3A%5CZYIMAGE%5CDATA%5CHISTDIR%5CTXT%5C00000000%5C00004DAK.txt&User=anonymous &Password=anonymous&SortMethod=f%3ADecade&MaximumDocuments=10&FuzzyDegree=0& ImageQuality=r80g5/r80g5/x150y150g5/i500&Display=hpfr&DefSeekPage=f& Back=ZyActionS&BackDesc=Results%20page&MaximumPages=1&ZyEntry=1&SeekPage=f&id=00004DAK.txt Upper Conduit Street is actually listed in that directory as Conduit Street Upper - but no WELLS family at number 30. There's a WELLS and YOUNG the Grocers at number 17 - we used to buy our groceries from WELLS the Grocers in the 1950's/1960's only by then they were in Evington Road - used to have a van that came round the streets - and you went out to the van - remember fresh liver (swimming in blood) was sold from bulk metal bins!! Any of this ringing any bells?? Good Luck!!
