    Union Glassworks

    Hi, just found this thread - I have a glassmaker/blower ancestor also: William Price, who was living on Lister Street between 1822 and 1833. I'm guessing he may have worked at the Union Glassworks on Dartmouth Street as it was nearby. He seems to have moved from Staffordshire - Colwich/Little...

    Vaughtons Hole, Highgate

    That unfortunate soldier who drowned here in 1857 appears to be my 3x great uncle, Patrick Geraghty / Garratty. He was 22.

    prospect place handsworth and angelsey street lozells

    Lovely photos! I will show my mom and ask, but I can't see my grandparents there, which leads me to suspect my mom wasn't there either, although the girl about to sneeze looks a bit like her!

    Hi Clare, how wonderful, I'll have to let my mom know, she's 81 now, and has very fond memories of the gang from Prospect Place!

    Hi Lyn, according to FreeBMD the marriage was in the Aston reg district (Sep 1841). Can't find it on Ancestry at all.

    I'll have to ask my mom if she remembers any names. This would have been taken late 40s.

    William Street Lozells

    Thanks so much for these, my great-grandparents lived on William Street just down from the Gough Arms between at least 1935 and 55, it's wonderful to see how it looked.

    prospect place handsworth and angelsey street lozells

    Hi, I can see it's been a while, but my mom was born at 8 Prospect Place (and she was a Price!). I have a photo of a group of children from the late 40s from that area, if anyone is interested.

    Since my original posting of the photo seems to have disappeared, here it is again. And this is my great-uncle, Harold Francis Griffiths:

    Sherbourne Mill / Baldwin & Sons Paper Mill

    Does anyone have a photo (preferably old) of Sherbourne Paper Mill in Kings Norton? Ideally I'm looking for a 19th century image, but anything will do if it's of the buildings from that period. My great great grandfather William Davis worked and died in an accident there. thanks in advance!

    Price, WW1 photo - Help?!

    That must be him!! He was always down as Harry, even on birth and marriage certs, but maybe the Army assumed it was a nickname! Wow, thanks Suzanne - do you know if the records are on Ancestry... where did you find that?!
