Hi MWS,I have re checked John Spier's who died in 1956 age 52,and found he was the son of Samuel and Emma Spier's born in 1904 in Leicester,so unfortunately not my John Spier's but it was a good try and thank you for helping, Ray.

I have researched this John Spier's,and he was born in 1904( not 1903) close though! And there was another family living in Leicester with a son John Spier's born in 1904, so I think this record is of him,but it was worth a try,and thank you.

Hi pjmburns,thank you so much for this information,you are a gem

Hi MWS,yes you are right have just re-checked and it was number 63 Allison street so the demolished house is where he was born ( I should have gone to Specsavers !!!) Thanks for your correction,it must be old age !!

Well spotted,which means that the first house past the demo?ished house is 64 Allison Street where my father was born on Nov 13th 1903,and could the lady standing in the doorway,be his mother and my Grandmother WOW!!! Thanks for your valuable input

Are the any pictures,or information on " the kings head" pub,at 67 Allison street,Birmingham,I think it was demolished about 1906/7.

Hi Lyn and Astoness,yes the picture shows houses 65 and 66 and the kings head pub was 67, so the demolished house was 64,where my father John Spier's was born on 13th Nov 1903,its quite weird to think that the people standing in their doorways were next door neighbours and would have known my...

Hi MSW,where did you get this information from? Have tried Electoral rolls but they only seem to go up to 1932!

The 1911 census shows that the Spier's family had moved to 4 back of 105 Floodgate St,Birmingham.where George and Alice Spier's had 5 children,Nellie- Charles - John -Alice - Mary ,there must be some ancestors of these 5 children,and if so I hope they will get to read this thread and...
