Personal Messages
COLIN BRYAN
I am looking for my father, I believe he came from Stroud or the surrounding area, he drove a tipper lorry in the late 1950s early 1960s.
His name was Colin Bryan not sure of the spelling, we think the company he worked for was Stuart’s Tippers.
Does anyone know of him or have a photograph?
He did have a daughter slightly older than me.
Any information would help even a picture.
Please contact 07731 644239.
