Hi,
I've been to Worcester History Centre this morning and had a look for you.
In 1936 the occupants of 11 Poplar Road were
John Griffiths & Mercy Griffiths.
You may also be interested to know at 10 Poplar Road were
Cyril Griffiths & Gladys Maud Griffiths.
Hope this helps.

Many Thanks: now to work out who they were!! It is an address which is given by a visitor (whom I'm interested in) on the incoming manifests where she was staying. She came from Kidderminster.

I've managed to find out the relationship: not one I expected but one of those unusual cross references you get from time to time. Again many thanks.

Hi Saxon
Just hope that one of my 2 sorces in WOR have the right Kellys (they are Worcester History Centre & Kidderminster library so one of them may have it). If I cant find the exact year I will send you as close as I can to it
All the very best
