Green family Clarendon Street, Upper Webster Street

[LindseyTrott]

Hi, I am hoping to find someone who remembers the Green family. Mom Ada, her daughter Peggy and 3 sons, Jess, Raymond and Tony. Peggy went to Burlington St and the boys went to Upper Thomas St. Peggy is 100 next month and it would be lovely to tell her the family are rembered as her happiest times were in Aston. Thanks

Hi Lindsey welcome to the forum. I think your family lived at 3bk108 Clarendon Street (I lived in Parliament Street the next street up Park Lane), if this is correct there are a couple of members that lived in that street so may improve your chances if you add the street to the title.

How amazing what a wonderful age, my mum lived to 96 and only left Aston in the 60s.

Fabulous thank you. I had spotted another lady born in 24 who went to Burlington St. Yes Peggy left Aston in the 60s too, has such lovely memories

Thread 'Burlington St Schools'

I started at Burlington St Infants in 1937, memories of those days are very hazy,in 1940 I was sent on Evacuation ( privately ) I was away for two years. I thought what really happened in those days especially at Burlington Street School in war time
Took myself of to the Birmingham Reference Library where most of the Birmingham School Records are kept. Sorted out the Log Book for Burlington Street it dates from 1909, it's like a 'Heads' desk diary of daily events. I.ve started to copy some of it and will post the results latter.
In the mean time has anyone memories of the school...

Thank you so much, I had heard of Upper webster St but not Clarendon St. Peggy is the Marguerite listed below and Ada's maiden name was Welch which could be the neighbours below..... so helpful, thank you!

Lindsey, I am Clarendon St ( 53 to 69 ) born and bred, I lived further down the street on the other side, I cannot say that I knew your family, just before my time, my dad, uncle and myself all went to Burlington St School and Upper Thomas Street as well, Brummie John has posted a photo of Clarendon St from above and correctly mark the house where you Green family for a while, but they seemed to have lived at number 43 Upper Webster St from around 1945 til about 1963, now if you look at the photo Upper Webster Street is just on the left, 43 would be a few doors down from the corner, I think it the second house in from the left, the view is of the back of the house, They may have moved during the war due to bomb damage, all that area beyond the house was destroyed by the German bomber trying to bomb Millers and probably Norton motor bike factories, that area was our play ground the old bomb peck, Aston Manor school is now build on it .
