Thanks for your help
Leon L Lagache was the first Managing Director of General Textiles Ltd which was formed in 1936
Usines Textiles Reunies de Belgique SA had 50% of it
He gave his address as Avenue Hamoir 56a Brussels
He recruited a group of Belgian textile workers to come to Athlone - they left around 1939 because of the war
In 1964 his son Leon H Lagache was a director of General Textiles Ltd but I do not have an address for him
I did a search for " lagache / belgium " on www.familysearch.org and from 29 results I can say only that the majority were from Hainaut
I have a note that Eugene Bouckaert lived in Athlone 1937/9 as a child. He has a brother who worked as a Manager for Sabena.Their father Cyrille worked in General Textiles. I do not have addresses for them so I cannot find them in the Infobel directory online
Thanks again
George
