On 16th April 1941 Spa Hill was hit in a bombing raid. The houses hit were 73, 75, 77 & 79. Can anyone look up the residents of those premises in 1939 please.
Possible surnames are Tyrrell, Skipp, Leach, Boyall, Fullwood, Hornby, Sellars & Street but there may be others.
Thanks.

Thanks,
Geoffrey & Gladys Tyrell survived but a Mary Hornby died at No. 77.
Cecil Fullwood & Jessie Boyall died at No. 75, William Tyrell had died the year before but Sarah Tyrell survived the war, they were the parents of Geoffrey who lived at No. 77.
I don't know about the 1939 occupants of No. 73 but Edmund Leonard Deacon Grant died there (aged 84) that day.
This can be archived.
