Does any one remember working with Bill in Liverpool from the mid 1940's, or maybe after that.
Any information would help.

Thank you

I recently came across this list of employees that were working in the Acton factory producing Vehicles in 1913.
We were wondering if anyone was related to any of them and could fill in any details, to help us build up our list of employees.

Thier names are:-
Mr Coles
Mr Downs
Mr Gasson (not a relation of mine that I know of)
Mr Sinton
Mr Nickolls
Mr Giles
Mr Essam
Any information will be treated in confidence.

Thank you
Roy Gasson
Hon Chairman
