My grandmother Elsie Thomas married Harold Victor Lee in 1929. Sadly he died 3 months later. They were living at 2 Albion Villas, Lower Wyche. He was a Dept Manager at a Clothing Shop.

If anyone knows the Lee family, if they are still in the area or knows where Albion Villas is could they please get in touch many thanks
