Hi Lyn that I think it should be Francis St (Phil lived there for a time )The nearest two churches would be St Mathews which is still there and St James (bombed out in the war but still has a few head stones lying around where the churchyard used to be. Dek
 
hi dek..thanks for that..yes i agree its down as frances st but should have read francis st....are both of these churches in the aston area..
