For Reg Longman and David Wheatley.
Here is an further email received from Heather Webster nee Stewart regarding her uncle and my reply.

Thank you for your reply David.
I just found out from one of my cousins that his dad Albert Stewart was a cobbler there! I think that's fantastic and I never knew it previously.
Also Albert is in his 80s.
Thank you once again.
Heather Webster (nee Stewart).

Hello again Heather, after putting your last e-mail on our guest book there has been a couple of messages I think might interest you, we have no way of knowing if we have the right Stewart yet, but if you take a look lets just hope you will be lucky.
I'm still looking through our Goldonian,s but not much luck yet.
If it is one of your uncles I can contact Bryn Webb who is mentioned by Reg Longman as being a best friend of his. You will have to look back a couple of page’s on our Guest Book to read the latest up date on your request for help. Also ask him if he remembers any of these names Jimmy James, Scoffer Howitt, John Sansom, Bob Pegg, David Walker. I'll be in touch
Dave.
