I don't know if this is the right place to put a post like this but here goes anyway!
The only photographic memory I have of my Dad's dad is a memorial in Keyhill cemetery. Thomas Henry Maxfield. He died soon after ww1 when my dad was 6 and I never saw him.. obs!
My dad said he was a sign writer and he worked for the new Hudson cycle company. Others in the family also worked on cycles.
They lived in Claremont Place, Brookfield Road and in Rosebery Street.
I have never seen any photos of what it looked like.
The family moved from Sheffield where they were cutlers to Birmingham around the mid nineteenth century. Some took jobs like electroplating.
If you have any pictures, photos or information to share I would love to know.
I know things about my family, the Maxfields but have no visual memories and I guess Birmingham no longer looks the same.
