I am searching for a photograph of my great great grandparents John and Mary Ann RANDON (formerly Brant) I have been searching for years and now hoping the Birmingham History Forum may be able to help. If you see this post and are a descendant or know of a descendant of John and Mary Ann RANDON (formerly Brant) I would very much appreciate if you would make a reply.
John and Mary Ann RANDON lived at 49 Alfred Street Smethwick, Birmingham during the late 19th and early 20th century
Maps from the mid 1800s and c1913 show 49 Alfred Street, Smethick listed as an off licence run by Mary Ann Randon from the 1892 till the 1905 directory. In the 1913 editions it is again listed as Mrs Mary Ann Randon. Previously in 1890 Mary Ann is running a coffee shop in nearby Downing Street.
