Anyone know of any Millingtons from Nechells or Aston. 1800 - Present time. (family history)
 
hello tony,my former boss at a steel stockholders in b,ham was a Sam Millington,
he was from the Aston area he first joined the company in prichett st newtown area,
of brum then to Arley rd saltley,where i knew him.
the next time i met him he was working for a stockholder in granby avenue garret's green South Yardley, hope it helps. it may be something to go on. regards dereklcg
 
I knew Maurice Millinngton, he lived in Witton, the bit that is on the edge of Aston. His gran kept a shop in Witton Road, in the 1940's/50's
 
Thanks to all those who responded, but there is no Sam or Samuel in that time band. I need an Albert (c1874) or a Joseph (c1852) or possibly an Emanuel (c1825). Regards Tony Hartley.
 
sorry you can,t find what you want at the minute Tony,
i had a result with millington name thanks for that.
regards dereklcg.
 
I worked with a Terry Millington a motor mechanic in around 1952-3, he lived in Handsworth, Rookery Road area if I remember correctly. E.

My Great Great Grandfather Emanuel Millington,born C1823 and was married to Rebecca.
On the 1871 census they were living in Miller Street,Aston,with their 7 children including my Great Grandmother Rosina.I hope this is of some help.
Maurice.

There are 2 extracted entries for Emanuel on IGI

marriage to Rebecca Quinney 3rd Aug 1846 Redditch
and Emanuels father is given as Benjamin Gibb.
on his baptism 25th Dec 1822 Studley just his mothers name Elizabeth Millington,this may have meant that he was illegitimate.

Hi Tony
My Father was born in Aston 1901 Frederick Charles Millington, he married my mother nee Olive Jones on June 26th 1926 at St james church lozells road.His father I think was Frederick Millington and he was from Shropshire (Ford) nr telford.
my parents moved to Warstock in the 30's and then to Northfield about 1936 until he died 1983. Dont know when my grandfather came to birmingham, I believe he was a bricklayer, as was my father.

I do indeed, he was related to a Peter (I think) Millinton who was at my school (slade Road). His dad was the licensee of the Cross Keys, station Road/Sutton Road Erdington
 
Hi Di.Poppitt. Your reply back in 2008 mentioned Maurice Millington. I had forgotten that name. Takes me back to my childhood days at Canterbury Rd School I believe. How various entries stimulate long forgotten names and events. It is what makes this site so attractive. Regards. willey
 
Hi Morturn thank you for the reply, when my mom used to collect me from slade road school i used to go to Millingtons we would do our weekly vegatable shopping there, i remember one man was a big guy with glasses & his wife worked there too?? the other guy was a grey haired thin man lovely people as i remember!! next door to Millingtons was LLoyds electrics do you remember that shop too!!

Hello Eric,

Just noticed your post re: Terry Millington (motor mechanic), he & my Dad (Mac) were good friends for many years & they often used to meet up in later years for a beer & a catch up on the old days. Terry last lived in Upton Snodsbury Worcestershire.
