I WAS delighted to read another item on James Wignal, Member of Parliament, during the 1930s.
He was my dear late grandmother's brother. Her home was in the town of Carmarthen in South Wales.
Every week Jimmy Wignal used to send her £1 from London, quite a "fortune" in those days!
I worked in London in the 1930s and lived in a large house in Acton with my several cousins. Every so often we used to dress up "posh" like film stars and go up to the city to visit Trevor Wignal, son of James Wignal.
Trevor was the sports editor for the Daily Express at that time.
Honestly, you'd think that we were visiting royalty! But, what the heck, we enjoyed it and Trevor was really something in those days being the son of an MP, the famous Jimmy Wignal. – Joan Spain Smith, Gloucester Road, Coleford.
