A SENIOR lecturer at a Midlands university wants to hear from anyone related to a GP who died in Malvern in 1980.

Nigel Mills, of Leicester De Montfort University, is researching the life of Harry John Lawson who, in the early years of the 20th Century, was one of the pioneers of the British motor car trade.

Mr Mills has discovered that Lawson's son, Dr Thomas Ebenezer Lawson, died on December 31, 1980, in Malvern.

"I'm assuming he retired to the town and I'm wondering if there are any friends or close relatives still living locally," said Mr Mills.

Anyone who can help, should contact nigel@primefunction. co.uk or 01455 845512.
