Edward Norton my grandfather - Brighton
I'm looking for my grandfather EDWARD NORTON. Unfortunately I know very few about him. He's been living in Brighton until 1954 or 1955; by then he must have been 30-40 years old (so he was born between 1915 and 1925. He worked in a hotel (my grandmother doesn't know the name of it) at that time, perhaps as a manager. My grandmother KATHLEEN STEINER was 19 years old at that time and worked for him as a houskeeper for 2 or 3 months; before she was in London (also as a houskeeper). That's already all I know. Not a lot, but maybe someone can give me a hint? I would appreciate any information very very much, thank you!
