After speaking to my mother today,another gem has come to light.
Her uncle was a policeman in London.....She called him a coroners officer..he used to go round and collect the dead bodies(her words)
I have his address...Highbury Mansions ...not far from Arsenal football ground.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out more about him?
Ive been googling but Im going round in circles.
I think we must be talking about 30s early 40s.....mum was born 1926...she said she was young when they used to visit.
Thankyou Kay
