Crocketts Road, Handsworth 1901
I'm trying to find out anything about 116 Crocketts Road, Handsworth in and around 1901 when the census shows a William Howell present as a "coal dealer and greengrocer" although I believe it was owned and run by John Howell. Does anybody have access to any records or trade directories that... -

Once again, very many thanks to all of you who have kick started my research ...... your expertise is much appreciated ! Now ...... where do I go from my new "stuck" point ?!!! I appreciate I may be asking for the impossible here but my ancestral tree now reaches back to WILLIAM YOUNG (yes... -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
Okay - many thanks - my positivity meter has swung a notch in the right direction !!! What about the first born to William and Elizabeth. She was born Ellen but was known as Nellie by a living relative a few years back. I've tended to find most first born females take the name of either the... -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
This is a "definite maybe" but I can't find anything that tips the scales denitely one way or another. The biggest issue I'm currently having is that on William (b1860) and Elizabeth's marriage certificate of 1883, William lists his father William Snr as a "carter" whereas the Redmarley William... -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
I have tried to find evidence of a Malvern born family and/or a Malvern born William Young prior to the 1891 census and have drawn a blank. According to his marriage certificate, his father was another William and there certainly is no William junior/senior combo pre 1891 in any of the areas... -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
Desperately trying to convince myself regarding this one ! When William Young (b1860) married Elizabeth Howell, he claimed his father was born in Birmingham AND was a "carter" by profession. Also. the "T Young" - if I assume it to be Thomas - is very many years out from the birth certificate I... -

Thanks Shera ..... will definitely take a look ! -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
All the children's birth certificates I have show addresses in Birmingham and, mostly, Kings Norton ...... definitely not Malvern which is quite a distance away. I will look at the Malvern Young's and see if I can find anything of interest. -

Young William (1860 - 1916)
Hi Shera ...... the Worcestershire link was merely Kings Norton as the Warwickshire/Worcestershire boundary was very much in Birmingham in those days. I have birth certificates for many of the kids and they are Birmingham or Kings Norton born so Malvern would rule this record out I'm afraid !
