Hi there
I know this thread in searching the biddle family started a very long time ago and i mentionioned the biddles of Aston
whom was money lenders around the top end of six ways towards birchfield road way
and i did mention about the stories of my mother and her family the jelf,s the coffee house people
and how they went to the biddles house and venues of part,s of what ever occasion
but it was a regular thing with the jelfs and bidles get together at there part,s and at the certain pub on constitution hill
and i would like to asked i think it was a person named carole sent me an em about two years back saying she had a picture of a biddle whom she knew or was related to
I have been going through my old files searching for some think, a presto i found the dates i was looking for two years
Ago requesting the same question ,yes the biddles of Aston,
So as i have seen some one else serching the biddles, here is my connection to the biddles
My Grand parents and my mother to them was there only child and they was Ernest jelf and bertha victoria Hinton
And my mothers name was Joyce Ivy Beatrice Jelf whom came from Aston , [ Prliment street ] number 4
and they ran there shops all around Aston , HOCKLEY , and the city centre and in Erdington and there home
and business was in at number 1 new cannal street digbeth
And the family connections to my mothers family namely the Jelf,s was because my grand father,s older brother
Married to Alice Biddle in Aston in 1912 and a reference number if you persue any doc, is ref, 6d 626
and his name was Henry Jelf marrige to Alice biddle of Aston
I know this from fact as well as my mother used to tell us about her family and her younger days right up until she
Got married to my father from george road erdinton and they disagreed over her choice so they wrote her out of there lives
