Thanks Lyn. My (step) grandparents moved from there (246) to Yardley and I thought it was about then.

my aunt lived in that section of the street mark cant recall the number but i think it was almost next to the star and garter pub which was on the corner i think with gt hampton row..its just bought to mind that one day workmen had to dig up the pavement outside our house in uxbridge st and they found an old silver spoon which must have belonged to one of the brearley st residents..i will stand to be corrected here but i think at some point (maybe way back ) that part of the st was called brearley st west...maybe just by the locals so i would have to check that one out

Not too far away then. My (step) great grandmother ran a grocery shop there in the 1930s.

There appear to be lots of mentions of Brearley St West in the papers so you're probably right.

you may already have this mark but a map showing 246 and only a few feet from the star and garter pub...asked mike to send me the map

Thanks Mike I found the map it is 270 I am looking for not 217.
270 is just on the map, I always thought Brearley street only ran between newtown row and Gt Hampton row are there any more properties to the west of 270?

There are a William and Ann, and there 3 children in 1871, he was a spoon polisher.

Also a Joseph and Sarah, and there 3 sons in 1871, he was a gun finisher.

You would need to see the scans to see if there are any numbers.

Wales, when I was a tipper driver I worked for W.J.Law Demolition and they knocked Brearly St. down. I could not swear to it but I think most of it went under the runway at the airport.

what year would that have been ?? ...and you are talking about Bham airport ?

 

[Astoness]

if this is to be a family research enquiry could you please continue on the surname interests of the forum as we are going off topic now...thanks
