Trying to find Street

My grandfather Henry Street was born in Wales and was one of 6 brothers. He was born at around the turn of the century and I think he came from a fairly wealthy family ( something to do with mining). In the First World War he joined up, underage and survived The Battle of The Somme. He was blown up and recovered in Stoke Mandival Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He seems to have been 'dis-owned' by his family when he married my nana, Nellie Bagnell, who was a barmaid who they thought was much beneath them. He then moved to the Midlands (Birmingham area) where he had 6 children, one being my dad. As he would never discuss his past we don't know anymore about this side of the family. If any of this rings a bell with anyone it would be great to find out something about this part of my family. |
