Hi Terry,
Thanks very much for your help. Will have to look a bit deeper, all i had to go on was a message from a relative which she had info off her mother who unfortunately is not with us anymore. All It said was James was Mayor of Torquay in the 1930's and he had 2 daughters Ethel & Margaret !! Oh well back to the drawing board !!
Thanks Again Yvonne :D

Hi Terry,
I am trying to fill in some gaps in a Bryant family tree and the Kenneth A Bryant listed as a mayor of Torquay is an uncle of my father (also a Kenneth Bryant). Kenneth A Bryant moved to Torquay after being shot during a bank hold-up in Beckenham, Kent. Do your records indicate what the initial "A" stood for or any other details?

Mike Bryant. I have been researching Bryants for years and I have photos of Kenneth Bryant. His name is actually Kenneth Raymond Bryant and he was my wifes uncle. Shot in a bank raid in Bromley 1931. I have newspaper copy and full family tree.
