Ethel  Seymour was a blouse specialist, with a shop at 23 Manchester Road ,Burnley. She lived at 173 Manchester Road Burnley

She appears in the following

1.Kellys Directory for Lancashire in 1924

2. The general and Commercial Burnley Directory 13th Edition dated 1923. She is not in the 14th edition dated 1927-28

Does anyone know what happened to this lady, or shop

This is a real longshot, but a very important one to me

Hi Sue,

If you contact Roger Frost he should know, probably he will have a photo of it too.

Best wishes Pollyanna

Good idea

 

By the way, I have been in touch with michael widdup as you suggested, He was not my family but I did have some information I could give him, and sorted out a missing link for him

Sue, my mum who is 84 remebers the dress shop.  She says it was a high class clothes shop.  Lots of people bought wedding out-fits there. My friend Joan Read hopes she has helped you with your Canada link.  Any luck?

Joan has given me a few pointers that I haven't yet tried. After my daughters wedding, I'll get started on them.

Thanks for the info about the dress shop. I am particularly trying to find out what happened to Ethel. I'll tell you off line why
