I have not been on this site for a long time, so hadn't seen this Bonzo.   

That is fascinating, what can you tell me about Bill?  Do you have any idea why he went to Chester when he was about 10, to live with his grandparents?

Hi David,
Whilst looking for a photograph of My Grandpa’s shop, “Prouds of Chester “ I came across your post.
I never went to the shop in Christleton Road but passed it many times. I did however, accompany Grandpa Edwards to the office a few times in Delemere Street. My mother was Hilary Edwards the youngest of his children. He sadly Died when I was 12 , but remember him being a wonderful kind person. His eldest daughter, Brenda,is still alive, Living in Australia. Steph
