Hello, I am basically searching for any information about my grandfather. Pinnegar way in Swindon was named after him. He worked in the railway industry in Swindon and I think was quite involved with the union and speaking on behalf of the workers. Later religion became a big part of his life and he started street preaching in the name of the lord. He unfortunately suffered from mental illness which eventually took him. I just want to find out more about him if anyone knew him or of him.
Thanks in advance and I know this is a bit of a long shot!
