Brummie in exile
Guest
Hi everyone,
It’s great to find this website!
I haven’t lived in Birmingham for over twenty years, but I visit often. I still miss the great brummie humour, and the friendly chat. There’s nowhere quite like Brum!
I was born in Heathfield Road hospital in the 1950’s and was brought up in Perry Barr. I used to go to dancing classes in Aston, and to the Saturday morning cinema in Birchfield Road. I once worked in Newtown Row Post Office. Happy Days!
My grandparents on my father’s side were all from Aston/Aston Manor, which is another reason why I’m thrilled to find this website because I’m researching my family tree.
Does anyone remember or have information about the following families…
HAYNES
MASON
PRINCE
The Haynes family seemed to like the name ‘George’, because my father, his father and his grandfather were all given this name! To help distinguish each generation I’ve given them a different colour
My dad was George Haynes, born 1923. He worked at Tucker Fasteners on the Walsall Road and he was a long-time member of Icknield Male Voice Choir. Dad was brought up in Dovedale Road, Perry Common. .
Dad’s parents were George Haynes (1900 – c1960) and Catherine Isabella Prince (Kate) 1902 - c1965).
George was brought up at No 3 house, back of 124 William Street. Aston Manor.
Kate was brought up at 4 William Henry Street. Aston.
Her father was William Prince and her mother was Catherine Shaw.
George and Kate lived in Dovedale Road, Perry Common. They had four children.
George – born 1923 (my dad)
Alice – born c1925. Married Bill Hewitt
David – born c1928. Married Irene Lillis
Rosene – born c.1930. Married Frank ……..?
George Haynes’ parents were
George Haynes (born c1879, Aston) and Mary Ellen Mason (Nell) (born c1880, Aston)
In the 1881 Census Nell’s family were living at 10 Porchester street, Lozells, Aston Manor. By1891 they had moved to 88 Porchester Street, Lozells, Aston Manor.
Nell’s father was James Mason and her mother was Amelia Phillips
George’s father was William Haynes and his mother was Sarah (surname unknown)
William Haynes and his wife Sarah originated from Northamptonshire.
I would be thrilled to hear from anyone who has information about my relatives.
