Hi all,

 

Did anyone of you either worked or know anyone that worked at the steel works.

Did anyone know any yemeni steel worker at the time around the 1960s, one in particular who went by the nickname Fred.

 

Thank you

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.

Yes I knew him. He spent a lot of time with my dad out of work. He used to come to our house every Saturday. Was a very funny man

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)

Hi I'm not sure it was so long ago. I think one of his daughters was called Miriam ? I'll ask my sister because I was quite young at the time and she was older.
