I recently decided to research my late stepfathers family because I did not know anything about his past and as I am going to visit London I would like to see where he his family came from because he never talked about his origins
Lawrence Edgar Thomas English was born in 0ctober 1915 in Holborn?. His parents were John Edgar English born 1892 probably in Islington.John was in the Royal artillery as a driver and also a Journeyman Baker. His mother was Minnie Elizabeth English nee Sellens born 1885 was in Holborn area?. Minnies mothers name was E S sellens.
My stepfather was supposed to have had a distinguised war record and I have always wondered just what that meant. Many thanks
