Thank you for your reply . A lot of information I need to kick off with got destroyed in a house fire at my brothers house. I do know of one of my uncle's who started a building company ( Warick builders ) he also owned The Tysley picture house at one time, I shall start using my library card and get access to Ancestry. Thank you for you help I feel sure these names will appear again somewhere along the line.
Hi Bronson
My Pleasure I do have to say seeing what you put about the tsyley picture house
I do beleive in my heart that kate did mention about the tysley picture house to me one day
when we was discussing her pass and about billy , william ,
what made my ears ***** up with Attention was when on about the picture house i used to live down
along the main road from it many years ago and i turned to her and told her how eventualy it closed down
and at one point in time it became some think of an asian picture house but never survived for some reason
i am ofcourse speaking of the late fifty i think many many moons gone bye and never openened up again
because she surprized me of her speaking about it may be that was the connection to william being
the cini operator for the films as he would have been young in those days and ofcourse apprentice mate
oportunity for films and entertainment and stage hand came along for him
she most definately mentioned the tyseley picture house
thats why i think some where along the line he could be a one of the missing links within your tree
i will follow you on this one Iam sorry i can not come up with any birth dates on this on
but iam sure they do fall into around the dates you are mentioning good luck thanks for replying

Thanks again, just a quick last point. I was born on Albion Road in Greet, my uncle used to pass me as he went to work in his Rolls Royce, through all weather's as I walked to Formans road not once did I get a lift, but I did get a beep on the horn and a wave. Thanks again I shall start my search asap.
Bronson, I have put info on your other thread in response to Mikegees excellent info provided.
I cannot find in any records a Joan Warwick who had a brother William so perhaps as so often in those days he was an honorary uncle perhaps a cousin of your mothers(we called all grown ups uncle or aunt in those days, no using christian names for grown ups)
I believe that the William Warwick who had the building firm was possibly William b 1898 he was the son of William Warwick and Kate nee Cadby.
in 1911 they lived at 287 Highgate Rd but when William enlisted in 1917 his next of kin was Kate and their address given as 21 Studley street.
I believe that william snr may have died in 1917 nad Kate died in 1952.
William had no sister Joan but there is a Joan E Warwick born 1919 whose family lived Studley street,
in 1911 living at 29 Queen Street Balsall Heath but in further electoral rolls(provided by Mikegee on other thread they lived at 14 Studley Street.
1911
Charles Warwick age 40
Harriet nee Hampton
Sarah 16
Winnie 12
charles 5
Hubert 3
Beatrice 1 month
further children after 1911
Edith M 1913
Kathleen j 1915
Joan E 1919
I have more info but I can only give it by private message as the people may be living but I am unable to do this because you haven't set your profile to accept messages.
