Rigby 1945 Marston Green Nurse
Thanks mikejee. Even though it doesn't immediately stand out as Malvern (or did it to you?), Malvern Road is what we think it could be. Searched the Acocks Green area in an oldish Birmingham A to Z, but couldn't find another road name that fits. Thought someone familiar with the area might come... -

Cremin Mary Ellen 1945 Marston Green Nurse
Once again, thank you for showing an interest in my post. My mother married in West Bromwich in 1955, her married name was Powell. I have used the Birmingham library access to Ancestry, but as I now live on the far side of Herefordshire I don't get to a B'ham library too often (although might... -

Put the first line of the verse into Google and you quickly discover, it's a well known verse by William Edward Norris. It seems the verse is well quoted today, so may have been widely known and used in the past. Meant to ask in my previous post - what do others think about a handwriting match?
