Charles Gingell

[Forest Fairy]

I am looking for information regarding my Great-uncle Charles Gingell.  He lived in Eckington with his wife Louisa and children Catherine and Samuel.
Charles was a boot repairer and had been in the Salvation Army.
He died in 1946 at the grand old age of 87.

Sorry, his wife's name was Henrietta.  Trying to do too many names at the same time.  That'll teach me.
Thanks to you all.

Chipping Sodbury isn't close to Gloucester!
