Map showing approx area of 3bk74 Camden Street, will look to find exact property and possibility of photo. All demolished by 1950s,

In 1939 they were living at Roshven Avenue, Balsall Heath.

May be a coincidence but in 1939 there was another Weaver family living at 266 Camden Street.

It appears that the area around #74 suffered bomb damage in 1940 which probably resulted in demolition in this area.

Map showing Court 12, No. 3bk74 would have been in this Court.

I have ancestors who lived at 203 Camden Street in the 1870s. I think these houses have since been demolished. Although there are several photos of Camden Street available I'm not sure which part of Camden Street (which I believe is a very long street?) they show.

Can anybody find/identity any photos of this area from before the houses were demolished?

Have you seen this thread? I will look to see if No. 203 is identifiable on any images.

Have moved the last two posts to this thread. Thanks brummy-lad !

Post deleted. House numbers changed around 1880 so this post was not relevant.

There is a problem, in that around 1880 Camden street was renumbered from consecutive (1,2,3,4...) to odd one side of the street, even the other. /will try and find out where 203 was in 1870s. but also there sem

 

[mikejee]

I have had to give up trying to determine the house that was 203 in the 1870,s but it was between Albion /street and Camden Drive

 

[mikejee]

dont like giving up. have now determined that almost certianly no 203 in 1870s was later no 74 (202 became 76;, 207became 66)

Can you give us your ancestors name? it will help when looking at the census.
