If anyone falls across any others I would be truely grateful
William John - the son [hubbys great uncle] - is quite interesting as he is
the first chemist director of Boots Pure Drug company -- before him it was
into cosmetics etc and he brought Boots into pills and potions

Others listed in Burton Terrace, for

thank you for your time and trouble
I wonder if he might have gone back?
I have checked Ellis island -- William John goes over in 1920 to the Boston
Drug company but none of the others are recorded

curious
