Albert F Lines

That's my man! Thanks McSporran.

By the late 40s/early 50s Albert Lines was living with a woman (still trying to confirm her name was Mary) and she brought a son with her whose last name was Morris. After the deaths of both Albert and his mother, he continued to live at 7 Coronation Road. I have a few more details about the son but don't want to post them in a public forum in case he is still living. I hope this is your Albert F Lines, Pixrobin, as we have a good bit of information about this character one way or another And, McSporran, are you buying credits for the 1939 register records on Findmypast? I was disappointed to find them so pricey.

Thanks Primrose! Albert F lines died on 19th March 1979 while living at the Harry Salt House, Canterbury Street. His occupation was given as Engineer, Motor Car Works (retired). If he'd retired at 65 then that would mean he worked until 1962.

I've no plans to buy credits for findmypast at the moment as I've got everything I need from the free search facility. I agree it's pricey but they have to recoup the cost of digitizing 41 million records. Hopefully the cost will come down when they've got their investment back and by then some of the 18 million records that are currently redacted due to the 100 year embargo will also be unlocked. Look out for the occasional offer of free access at Christmas or new year.

Thanks folks. This evening I received a phone call from Albert Lines' granddaughter and we've agreed to exchange information. Wouldn't have been possible without the combined memories of this forum. It's brilliant.

Hello. I was trying to trace an Albert Lines. He had a building business with a partner whose name I cannot remember at the moment. They did a lot of work for my dad at his Wimpy Bar/MR BIG restaurants and in our homes. Would this be the relation you are looking for? I believe he died in the 70/80's. Kind regards Sherry

Not the same one I was enquiring about Shezri. There are many with the surname Lines in the Coventry/Rugby areas. One even became mayor of Coventry.
