lysander Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 There were tens of thousands of steel workers in dozens of companies...many of whom employed Yemenis...it might help if you knew which steelworks Fred worked in. My own late father-in-law had a Yemeni workmate called Abdul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mia Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I remember him having a son and I think he had daughters also. I don't remember him ever being called Fred by my dad or the others who use to come to our house. We knew him as uncle (like it was in them days out of respect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
