Hello Gill55
The Davis family were probably an end house. I'll ask my brother re who he remembers.
The Esso garage was where Bill worked. We worked together at Cooks Lane Garage and Cateswell Lodge Garage, Hall Green. I think Bill left Cateswell in 1972/3. I not sure when he started at the Esso garage. I used to call in there for petrol and to see Bill. I'm sure he was there in 1973/4 to around 1978. He had two boys, the eldest Steven, would probably be 60 now.
Your house must have been near what was called the Welfare, I remember going there for my jabs as a little nipper.
