Cross Keys building had certainly changed in 2012...and I suppose in 1850 it was entirely different too. Wish I could see pictures from the 1860's-1920 when our great aunt Sarah Warden was living there. And the Hands family too. Leonora Hands married our George Warden. A trip back to...

All very interesting about Crosskeys and Steward Street. You all are living in the 1950's and I am doing research about Steward Street 100 years before in 1850's when my husband's great grandparents were living there. When I was there in 2012 it was hard to imagine 162 years back. So glad you...

Our Wardens were all gone by early 1920's in Birmingham. They seemed to be there in early 1800's. Thanks to findagrave I did find our gg grandparents and their children buried in Key Hill. I am still trying to find out who in the family made the move to Boston Massachusetts in 1700's. And if...

Thanks to you I spent this afternoon looking at Birmingham directories and found the other Wardens. The only ones that jumped out at me were these: 1849 White's Directory and Gazetteer of Birmingham James Hall shopkeeper 174 Brearley st W (may or may not be our Mary A Warden Hall husband)...

Yes I have seen the Thomas Baston Warden but they are not in our immediate family (possibly be cousins?) That was Joseph Hands a colour chemist. He was a nephew of Leonora Hands Warden. https://sculpture.gla.ac.uk/view/organization.php?id=msib4_1213122088 for Thomas Warden and presumed...

So the red box I have that says "made in England" could be something my father-in-law brought back from England during WWII? Thanks

Whoops almost forgot this url. That mentions a Thomas Warden and I think I know now which one they are talking about. Thomas B Warden frame maker who has the brother Joseph Warden hairdresser. Still have no idea who their father is, most likely a Joseph Warden...

Carol, so your mother worked at Manhattan. It was a great trip just to see Steward Street and thanks to all of you who have made my visit even more meaningful. I have learned so much from the forum. You all are great and awesome! Wish I had taken even more pictures; however, I am finding...

It is good to hear about Steward Street School and the area around Steward Street. I took lots of pictures of the area and included is a church on George Street across from Steward street. that looks like it could have been there along time. It is now called New Testament church of God. Also...
