    Rowton House

    These are fantastic, thank you for sharing. I would love to know what capacity my family were at Rowton House. I believe that he was a worker there, but have not been able to find any records.

    Royal George Hotel. Tower Road

    I've just come across a certificate that shows one of my family living at the Royal George Hotel, Tower Road, Aston (1936). I can't find any trace of this - does anyone have any clues?

    Quick update. The 1935 certificate is no good either, so still no date of death for Lily.

    Hi everyone, Just received George's death certificate. This shows that he died at Selly Oak Hospital but resided at 145 Alcester Street (Rowton House). It also describes his occupation as a Brass Dresser. This fits with other descriptions over the years, on the 1911 census it also states brass...

    if this Lily wheeler is correct it could mean she didn't remarry. Or couldn't remarry as no trace of a divorce

    I also had an address of albert cottages, brougham street (attached). As this is where the 3 girls went I thought he may have took lodging close by. I have received a response from Sisters of Mercy (see below) and shows that they were admitted on 7th October 1912. But then this admission...

    Well this has opened up a can of worms! I have George Frederick Wheeler b1877. He was on the 1911 census with the family living at Tower Street. The age of 36 appears to confirm this. His marriage on 4.12.1898 also states his age at 21 which calculates correctly. I had originally thought he...

    Now that makes more sense. But George did leave money to Florence not Lily so something may have happened. I have emailed St Mary's and will let you know what they say. I have one remaining living uncle (a son of Ellen) but unfortunately he does not have the full story either. He thinks that...

    This is fantastic progress. Many thanks to all. I am glad that this appears to be work related rather than hard times. How can I get this confirmed? Glad to see that George stayed close for awhile. If he moved to Rowton in 1925 this was 3 years before Ellen got married. However I am still...

    Hi Lyn I will keep you up to date. Just adding the Tuzzio family to Ancestry to see what comes up next. George Wheeler did die in 1928 and did leave money to Florence. It is a mystery as to why or how this was possible. There is another member of this forum (SheronB) who was looking for the...
