Hi. I am looking for about seven brothers and one sister, Hilda, of my father William Greatrix. He was born February 25, 1908, his father was also a William. All I can remember is that several of his brothers worked at the Fish Market in Digbeth, Birmingham around the 1950s. If anyone has any information they are willing to share, I will be very grateful. Thanks to all who read this.
Sylvia.

Lew, thank you so much for all of this information. You gave me a great kick-start, and I have been able to add several more relatives. Sorry I didn't get back to thank you before this.
