Hi All. Is anyone able to help me with the address on this marriage certificate please. It is for Bordesley, St. Andrews, Birmingham. It's obviously 24 ??? Road. From other writing examples it looks like it starts with an E. (When checking the E in Established Church). Thanking you in advance...

Hi Lyn, I was wondering if anyone knew what the street name would be. I was hoping to tie it into one of the addresses I have that my father lived at. Living in Australia it is hard to figure out what fits where in Brum. I have him on the 1921 census as living in Brook Lane near the Billesley...

My father said he used to live just around the corner from where this was taken on the right past the hedge? Thanking you in advance RhomaKay

Thank you Lyn, I have the photo of the art class at Dennis Road School posted on the thread in 2017. When I showed it to my Dad in 1996 he said that it had been his exact class room. Unfortunately my Dad was running away from something or someone after WW2 and he came to Australia with my mother...

Thank you so much Janice, you've certainly given me some homework to do. I'm going to see if I can find out what year my Dad started at Dennis Road Public School because that might also tell me where he transferred from. I really appreciate your time and effort, maps and all! Kind regards Rhoma

Thank you so much Janice, I'll check them out. It can be so hard trying to research my Brummie ancestry from across the world in Australia.

Hi all, I've found my father living with foster parents at 87 Brook Lane, Moseley on the 1921 census and it says he was at school. He would have been six at the time. The school at Billesley didn't open until Nov 1925 and it only took ages 5-9 and my Dad would have been 10 by then. My Dad was...

Hello, I thought you might like to have this photo, it is a postcard that my Dad (Raymond George Kirkwood) had, he said that he used to live just around the corner out of view of this picture.

Thank you Brummy-Lad, yes it does appear that the 8 has disappeared especially when you look at the map which shows the lot numbers. My Dad was a Brummy Lad too. Thanks again and stay safe

Hi Everyone, my grandmother Sarah Alice Hatfield owned a tobacconist and sweets shop at 87 Brighton Road from 1934 to around the late 1940's and the Brighton Hotel was at number 86, does anybody have any pictures please?

I have a copy of a programme booklet called "Blues News" season 1952-53. It is the official programme of Birmingham City Football Club. It has advertising, league tables, match stories and fixtures and a story on a player by the name of Ken Green. The Blues News was printed by Parkes & Mainwarings.

My Dad (Raymond George Kirkwood) worked at Parkes & Mainwaring from August 1938 until he went into the RAMC in September 1939. He then went back to work at P & M in Feb 1946 until around Jan 1952.

My Grandmother had a shop at 87 Brighton Road from about 1934 to 1945, I can't make out any street numbers in your photos. Do you know please? Her name was Sarah Alice Hatfield
