Edward (Teddy) Carter - Long Eaton
Hi, I would like to hear from anyone who has any information, especially photo's, phamplets, brewerarnia etc regarding my great-grandfather Teddy Carter. He ran the Blue-Bell Public house in Long Eaton town centre with his wife Elizabeth,(nee Bridges)around (1900) and previously had the Red Lion P/H at Sandiacre (1890's). Any background info on either also greatfully received. They were survived by at least 4 sons Albert, John, Douglas, Mel, and a daughter Lizzie. No-one seems to know of this family, which i find odd when you consider their prominance - Any WW1 leads welcomed. What happened to them?
